The Mandatory Sprinkler Landscape Irrigation Conservation Measures are intended to ensure the long-term sustainability of the water resources of the First Taxing District of the City of Norwalk, increase water use efficiency and prevent and curtail wasteful water use practices through regulatory means for sprinkler landscape irrigation by all Customers. Water savings achieved through conservation may be used to extend the availability of all water sources to meet future demands and defer the need for additional capital investment in alternative water supplies. These measures are in addition to provisions and non-regulatory measures, such as education and incentive programs, which are also utilized by the District to promote water conservation. 

The following is now required:

• Mandatory irrigation schedule in effect annually, starting April 1, through October 31
• Customers may irrigate twice a week, based on the schedule below
• Landscape irrigation is prohibited between 10am and 6pm
• Drip irrigation, soaker hoses and hand-held watering are allowed at any time
• See Rules and Regulations for exceptions

Additional resources and information are listed, below, to help you find ways to reduce your water consumption.
