Water Waste Ordinances

Water waste is governed by separate city
and county ordinances.

Separate city and county ordinances govern water waste, which is defined as:

  • The use of water that results in water flowing into any gutter, street, sidewalk, etc., in a steady stream for an extended period.
  • The use of water that results in water pooling in a public street, sidewalk or right-of-way.

Check below for water waste ordinances in your area. Also, when building a new home or business, check out the turf limitations (the amount of grass allowed to be planted for new homes and other facilities) for your area.
