Sioux Falls Water Utility uses an odd-even sprinkling schedule from May through September, restricting outdoor irrigation between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to protect aquifer supply from the Big Sioux Aquifer.
Under Ch. 110, properties with odd-numbered addresses water on odd calendar days; even on even days. Daytime watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. is prohibited to reduce evaporation. The schedule applies to in-ground sprinklers, hose-end sprinklers, and soaker hoses on lawns; hand watering of gardens and trees is exempt. Sioux Falls draws drinking water from the Big Sioux Aquifer and Lewis and Clark Regional Water System. Drought stage two triggers tighter rules announced through SiouxFalls.gov and local media. New sod has a 21-day variance.
First violation is a written warning; second offense within 12 months brings a 100 dollar fine; chronic violators face water service surcharges and possible shutoff after notice.
