§ 44-211. Declaration of water shortage.
(a)
Whenever the water supply of the county regional public water system is low and declining due to conditions that, as determined by the town manager, are likely to adversely affect the continued availability of water for human consumption, sanitation, health and fire protection, it shall become necessary to declare a water shortage and implementation of conservation requirements under the standards set forth in this division.
(b)
A water shortage shall be declared to exist when the reserve supply available to the town will have reached the point where the citizens cannot be supplied with water to protect their health and safety without substantially curtailing the water demand. A water shortage shall also be declared to exist when production, transmission, or storage facilities are incapable of meeting all daily water demands without endangering the ability to protect public safety and health without substantially curtailing water demand.
