Seasonal Watering Restrictions

The Village of Burr Ridge has an ordinance restricting outdoor summer water usage. It is crucial that the restrictions be followed so that a suitable amount of water is available for normal daily consumption and emergency purposes. 

From May 15 through September 15, residents and businesses are reminded to conserve water and follow these lawn and landscaping irrigation restrictions:

  • No watering is permitted on Wednesdays or any day between noon and 6 pm.
  • North of 83rd Street: watering is allowed Monday, Thursday, and Saturday from midnight to noon and 6 pm to midnight.
  • South of 83rd Street: watering is allowed Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday from midnight to noon and 6 pm to midnight.
  • Residents using private wells are not subject to restricted hours but should notify the police that a well is in use.
  • Residents can obtain permits for more frequent lawn sprinkling only in the case of new sod installations.
