Park City Council adopted an ordinance on Sept. 23 creating municipal code section 15‑7‑10 to limit use of city‑supplied water for irrigation, aligning the city’s rules with requirements in its contract with the City of Wichita.

The ordinance establishes an odd/even street‑address schedule that allows addresses on each side of a street three watering days per week, prohibits watering on Mondays citywide, and bans daytime watering from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Staff said the measure is required by the city’s contractual obligation to adopt Wichita’s conservation measures and that Wichita appears to be treating the schedule as a permanent restriction.

A staff presenter said the ordinance is written to permit the city to adopt administrative policies to address special circumstances such as reseeding or newly installed sod and that the city is not limited to Wichita’s exact phrasing when setting administrative exemptions.

Councilmember Charlie Davidson asked about well‑water exemptions and whether residents should post signs; staff replied the ordinance applies only to city water and that there is no formal sign requirement but enforcement and code‑compliance contacts can clarify when a resident reports a well. “If it’s well water, yeah, the ordinance only applies to city water,” staff said.

Councilmember Charlie Davidson moved to approve ordinance 12‑22‑2025 creating section 15‑7‑10 of the Park City municipal code; Jim Schrader seconded. The ordinance passed by roll‑call vote, 7–0.

Staff and councilmembers noted that residents who program automatic sprinklers should update schedules because the restriction will take effect on adoption and the plan will be posted online following the meeting.

The ordinance includes penalty provisions to allow enforcement; staff said additional administrative policies will clarify exceptions and enforcement procedures.

The council asked staff to monitor implementation and offer administrative guidance on special‑circumstance requests.
