On June 1, 2010, Governor Perdue signed the Water Stewardship Act into law.  The law has new provisions for landscape watering.  You may water landscapes any day between the hours of 4PM and 10 AM.  The odd /even schedule is currently still in place for other outdoor uses such as car washing or at home pressure washing.  Even addresses may use water for purposes other than landscape watering on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, Odd addresses may use water on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.  For more information or further clarification please review thefrequently asked questions and outdoor water use quick guide. 

Irrigation systems should be fully inspected by a certified irrigation professional before they are reactivated. Inactive irrigation systems can experience multiple problems, such as cracked or missing heads, misdirected nozzles, or broken lines. Being allowed to water everyday does not mean you should.  Overwatering is a primary killer of plants in Atlanta.  Cobb County Water System has an At Home Irrigation Audit and a comprehensive education program on how to use water efficiently outdoors while maintaining a beautiful landscape.

New Landscape Water Exemption

Newly installed landscape may be watered every day for 30 days without hourly restrictions.
