June 2010 Updated Fulton County Water Restrictions ~ posted by Melanie Bailey

Effective June 2, 2010, under the new guidelines citizens may take advantage of outdoor watering of lawns and landscapes seven days a week, regardless of the resident’s streets address, between the hours of 4:00 PM and 10:00 AM. This includes use of irrigation systems and sprinklers. Between the hours of 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM no use of irrigation systems or sprinklers is permitted; however, hand watering with a shut-off nozzle is allowed anytime of the day and any day of the week. For most other outdoor water uses, the odd / even address schedule remains in effect.

Residents with odd numbered addresses are allowed outdoor water use on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Those with even numbered addresses are permitted outdoor water use on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

Some exemptions to the odd / even schedule are also in effect. Examples of these exemptions include:
• Watering in pesticides and herbicides
• Irrigation of personal food gardens
• Outdoor water fountains
• Swimming pools
• Drip Irrigation

• Water may be used to wash hard surfaces, such as streets, gutters, sidewalks, driveways, school buses, fire trucks, emergency vehicles and police cars ONLY when necessary for public health and safety.

• Water may be used for other activities essential to daily business (This exemption refers to activities that are part of a primary operation of a business. For example, a window washing business or a mobile car wash business is included in this category).
