§ 25-143. Authority to implement additional conservation measures.

This section shall apply to all users of water from the city. Whenever an emergency exists as determined by the city administrator(s), or their designated agent, by reason of a shortage of water, limited distribution facilities or any other circumstance which make it necessary to immediately conserve water, there is hereby delegated to the city administrator(s), or their designated agent, the authority to implement conservation measures additional to the provisions of this division which are determined to be necessary to maintain potable water for essential public health and safety functions. These emergency measures shall remain in effect until the next regularly scheduled meeting, or special meeting, of the board of directors at which time the board shall decide whether it is necessary to continue said measures.

(Ord. No. 40-07, § 9, 6-5-07)

Editor's note

Ord. No. 40-07, § 7, adopted June 5, 2007, amended the Code by repealing former § 25-143 in its entirety. Former § 25-143 pertained to contract water users, and derived from Ord. No. 31-92, adopted May 5, 1992. Ord. No. 40-07, § 9, did not specifically add new provisions; hence, inclusion herein as § 25-143 was at the discretion of the editor.
