Water Rules Stay Active
Friday, May 15, 2026 · Wake Forest, NC
Stage 1 water-use restrictions remain in effect for Wake Forest because the town is served by Raleigh Water. Automatic and manual sprinklers may be used only between midnight and 10 a.m., with odd-numbered addresses watering on Tuesdays and even-numbered addresses on Wednesdays. Hose-end sprinklers have morning and evening limits on those same days, while handheld hoses and drip irrigation are still allowed anytime. It is a good time to double-check outdoor watering habits and fix leaks quickly.
