Central Arkansas Water serves Little Rock and may impose voluntary or mandatory outdoor watering restrictions during drought. In normal conditions there are no fixed lawn-watering days, but customers are expected to follow conservation guidance.
Drinking water for Little Rock comes from Central Arkansas Water, which draws from Lake Maumelle and Lake Winona. During drought stages declared by the utility, outdoor watering may be limited to specific days, hours, or odd or even address schedules, and waste of water through broken sprinklers or runoff into the street can be cited. Outside drought periods, customers are urged to water in early morning or evening, use drip irrigation where possible, and check for leaks. The Sustainability Plan emphasizes watershed protection at the source lakes upstream of the city.
During declared drought stages, warnings, fines, and possible water-service surcharges from Central Arkansas Water for repeated violations or water waste from broken irrigation.
