Water Management Ordinance for Lawn Sprinklers
- Applies only to unattended watering systems. This includes automatic watering systems for lawns, shrubs and trees. Unattended means that the watering system is without human supervision while watering.
- Applies to all properties regardless of whether they are served by a private well or are on the public water system. Also applies to private water associations.
- NJ State Water Restrictions, should they be imposed, would supersede local ordinances. They can be more strict but not less strict. Should the state impose odd/even-watering schedules, Montville would remain on the two-Area system, which is equivalent.
