Dry Weather Rules Continue
Friday, May 1, 2026 · Forsyth County, GA
As May begins, Forsyth County residents are under both a countywide burn ban and a Level 1 drought response. Outdoor burning is not allowed again until October 1, weather permitting. Outdoor watering is still allowed each day between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m., but the county is strongly encouraging everyone to conserve water indoors and outdoors. It is a good time to check for leaks, avoid overwatering, and skip any unnecessary fire activity while conditions stay so dry.
