Water Use Restrictions
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources has established statewide, year-round, outdoor water use restrictions.
The Current Restrictions Are:
In compliance with The State's amended Drought Response Level 4, beginning March 1, 2008, citizens will be able to hand water established landscapes for 25 minutes on the odd/even schedule from 4 AM - 9 AM. Hand watering is defined as one person, with one hose with an automatic shutoff nozzle.
• Even and Unnumbered addresses may water Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays
• Odd addresses may water Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays
In compliance with Cobb County’s Drought Response Plan adopted by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday, February 26, 2008, beginning April 1, 2008, citizens who complete the State of Georgia's online water conservation class at www.urbanagcouncil.com will be able to water newly installed landscape for 10 weeks on the odd/even schedule from 4 AM - 9 AM.
For more information on Cobb County's Drought Response Plan, and to download the landscape exemption form please visit the Cobb County Water Efficiency page of this website.
The Cobb County Water System will strictly enforce these restrictions. Warnings are issued for a first offense. Second, and each subsequent time results in escalating fines for each offense up to $500, water service disconnection, as well as prosecution.
