Water Restriction Notice

Outdoor watering restrictions help residents and city save money

The City of Northville has put in place mandatory outdoor watering restrictions as a means of reducing water use during peak hours of the day when the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) has the most difficulty meeting water demands.

To maintain these savings, and help ensure that our City will receive the water it needs for more critical indoor water use and firefighting, Northville will continue with the water restrictions imposed in previous years.

Residents with underground irrigation systems (automatic sprinkling systems) may only water their grass between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. on odd or even days based on the address of your house. If your address ends on an even number, set your irrigation system to only water during the hours listed above on even numbered days. If your address ends with an odd number, set your irrigation system to only water during the hours listed above on odd numbered days.

For residents who water their lawns and gardens manually with a hose or a sprinkler attached to a hose, you may only water between the hours of 11 a.m. to midnight on odd or even days based on the address of your house.

Residents who ignore these restrictions will be committing a Civil Infraction and issued a ticket. Tickets are $50 for the first offense and $100 for repeat offenses. Please abide by these restrictions. By working together, we can meet the City’s water system demands while saving money and conserving this essential natural resource.
