Before you put your sprinklers to work this summer, know the lawn watering rules.
Watering is not permitted between 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. from May 15 through Sept. 15. State regulations mandate that watering taking place outside those hours be done on an odd-even day system. Even-numbered addresses may water on even-numbered days (May 16, 18, etc. ) and odd-numbered addresses on odd-numbered days (May 15, 17, etc.). No lawn sprinkling is permitted on the 31st of any month.
These regulations apply to all municipalities that use Lake Michigan water.
