Nashville’s Voluntary Watering Request
Direct answer: Metro Water Services asks residents to follow a staggered watering pattern. The request is voluntary and is intended to reduce peak demand on the water system.
Requested days by address
- Odd-numbered addresses: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
- Even-numbered addresses: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Residents are asked to water no more than three days per week, between 7 p.m. and 4 a.m. The source notice was published August 28, 2024, so this page does not present it as a new 2026 announcement.
What voluntary means here
The published notice asks for cooperation to reduce peak pumping demand. It does not create a watering ordinance and does not list an enforcement charge. Check Metro Water Services for any later notice before changing a controller.
