The GA EPD Director has placed the entire state of Georgia under a
non-drought schedule for outdoor water use.
Under a non-drought schedule, outdoor water use is allowed three days
a week on assigned days using odd and even-numbered addresses.
-
Odd-numbered addresses can water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Sundays.
-
Even-numbered and unnumbered addresses are allowed to water on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Water use may occur at any time of the day on the assigned days, but
to be water efficient, landscape watering should not occur between
10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The non-drought schedule is included in the
Rules for Outdoor Water Use.
The Board of Natural Resources adopted Rules for Outdoor Water Use,
Chapter 391-3-30 in May 2004. Under the rules, Georgians are
required to follow schedules for outdoor water use during both
non-drought periods and during periods of declared drought. The rules
are consistent with Section 4 (Drought Responses) of the
Georgia Drought Management Plan, which the Board adopted in 2003.
The rules apply to any entity, and its customers, permitted by EPD for
water withdrawal or for the operation of a public drinking water
supply system.
