Clayton watering FAQ
Does Clayton follow Raleigh drought restrictions?

Odd addresses: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Even addresses: Wednesday, Friday, Sunday. No outdoor irrigation on Mondays. Hand watering with an attended hose is allowed any day.
Is Clayton the same as Rolesville for watering?
No. Rolesville is on Raleigh Water (not under Stage 1 after Aug 3, 2026 — year-round conservation rules apply). Clayton is on Johnston County’s separate mandatory schedule.
Is Johnston County still under a drought advisory?
No. Johnston County rescinded its voluntary water shortage advisory on August 3, 2026. The county’s year-round odd/even irrigation ordinance still applies.
Could my Clayton address still be on Raleigh Water?
Some properties near town or county lines may have a different provider. Check your water bill — if it says Raleigh Water, use the Raleigh or Garner guide instead.
