The "emergency water management" phase of the drought plan would be triggered by severe water pressure or other hydraulic issues, the static water level drops fifty percent (50%) or more or the daily usage reaches seven hundred thousand (700,000) gpd for five (5) consecutive days. The purpose of this phase would be to reduce water use to twenty-five percent (25%) of the peak demand. This would be a reduction of approximately two hundred thousand (200,000) gpd. The media will be used to strongly encourage all customers to curtail any nonessential usage. A twenty-five dollar ($25.00) surcharge will be assessed to all customers using over three thousand (3,000) gallons per month. System personnel will be utilized to monitor compliance with restrictions. Customers will also be requested to report violators of the restrictions.

The following will be used to enforce restrictions:

1. First offense - A written warning will be issued.
2. Second offense - A fifty dollar ($50.00) fine.
3. Third offense - Customer's water service will be discontinued for a minimum of fifteen (15) days.

A reconnection fee will be required to have service restored. (as added by Ord. #07-16, June 2016)
