Why do I have sprinkling restrictions and when are they?
The Illinois Division of Water Resources requires that municipalities using Lake Michigan water restrict lawn sprinkling between May 15th and September 15th. Accordingly Deerfield's restrictions during this period are as follows: Even numbered addresses may sprinkle on even numbered days from midnight to noon and from 6 p.m. to midnight. Odd numbered addresses may sprinkle on odd numbered days from midnight to noon and from 6 p.m. to midnight.

Sprinkling is not allowed for anyone between the hours of noon to 6 p.m. Fines for violators are $25 per occurrence for residential properties, and $100 for non-residential properties. These restrictions apply only to lawn sprinkling. Newly sodded areas of lawns may be watered at any time on any day for the 2 week period following the installation of such sod.
