Enforcement Policy

The City of Oklahoma City began the Progressive Water Conservation Program on April 30, 2013. Stage 1, the odd-even lawn watering schedule, is always in effect. The program has five stages, based on how much water is in our supply lakes and the last number of your home address.

Watering your lawn during freezing temperatures may also result in a fine.

Violating the watering program could result in a fine:

  • First offense: $119 fine plus $83 court cost = $202
  • Second offense: $269 fine plus $83 court cost = $352
  • Third offense: $519 fine plus $83 court cost = $602
  • Fourth offense: $750 bond and up to $1,200 fine for those who continue to violate the program

(According to Section 33-63 of the Oklahoma City Municipal Code)

You can report watering violations to the Action Center.
