Nashville Lawn Watering Guide
This page separates Metro Water Services’ system-demand request from turf-health advice. The utility notice is dated August 28, 2024; it is not a 2026 announcement.
How the address stagger works
Odd addresses: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Even addresses: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The request caps watering at three days weekly and asks customers to use the 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. window.
Turf-health timing is a separate question
University of Tennessee Extension recommends morning watering for fescue to reduce leaf wetness. That plant-health advice differs from Metro Water Services’ overnight request, whose purpose is reducing peak pumping demand. Property owners should understand both objectives rather than merging the two sources.
