Lawn Watering Restrictions Reminder

The lack of rain over the past few months is causing worrisome drought conditions throughout the state. While the metro area hasn't reached a severe drought level, it is important that property owners follow the City's year-round lawn watering restrictions to ensure there is enough water for all uses, including vital services such as fighting fires.

  • If your home or business address ends with an odd number, watering is permitted on odd-numbered days of the month
  • If your home or business address ends with an even number, watering is permitted on even-numbered days of the month
  • No lawn irrigation is permitted from noon to 5 p.m.

Watering restrictions are enforced and fines for violating the City ordinance are issued in amounts according to the number of violations issued to the property owner in the previous three years. Fines range from $25 for a first offense to $200 for a fourth offense, and $300 for each additional offense. More information about Eden Prairie's water use restrictions and lawn water tips are available at edenprairie.org/LawnWatering.
