Joliet, IL – With summer in full swing, the City of Joliet is reinforcing its seasonal watering ordinance in an effort to promote water conservation and community sustainability.
According to RethinkWaterJoliet.org, the city’s ordinance restricts lawn watering to two specific windows each day—between 6 to 10 a.m. and 6 to 10 p.m. This measure is intended to minimize water loss due to evaporation during hotter midday hours and to support healthier, more sustainable lawns.
Residents are also required to follow an alternating day schedule based on their street address. Even-numbered addresses may water on even-numbered days, while odd-numbered addresses water on odd-numbered days. These guidelines are part of Joliet’s broader water conservation strategy, helping to maintain the local water supply and reduce strain on infrastructure during peak summer usage.
City officials are encouraging all residents to follow the rules and become an #ILWaterAmbassador by spreading awareness about smart water use.
