PARSIPPANY — In an effort to address high water consumption during the summer months, the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills has implemented permanent lawn watering restrictions, effective June 1 through September 30 each year, as outlined in Township Ordinance 420-9E.
Under the new rules:
- Residential properties with even-numbered street addresses may water lawns on even-numbered days of the month.
- Those with odd-numbered addresses may water on odd-numbered days.
- No watering is allowed on Fridays or the 31st of any month.
- Permitted watering hours are 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
For non-residential properties, watering is only allowed on Mondays and Thursdays during the same time windows, and it is prohibited on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
A two-week exemption is available for newly planted lawns. Authorized Water Utility officials and Parsippany Police will enforce the exemption, and violations are subject to summonses and court appearances.
