Water is always a precious resource in Morgan Hill and with this in mind, our permanent watering restrictions have been designed to best manage the City's potable water supply.

From April 1, 2019 through October 31, 2019, watering is limited to three days a week.
- Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays for odd numbered addresses
- Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays for even numbered addresses
- No watering on Wednesdays
- Irrigation is allowed before 9 AM or after 7 PM
