(Pleasanton Supp No. 3, 1 -1(I) 268 9.30.010 Declaration of emergency. It is hereby found and declared that a water short- age and emergency exists within the water service area of the city, as total projected customer water use from May through September (the peak summer period of this and any future year), may exceed the projected water supply for the same period. It is necessary to regulate and prohibit certain water uses as provided in this chap- ter in order to address adequately this water shortage and emergency. (Ord. 1508 § 1, 1991) 9.30.020 Declaration of purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to provide both vol- untary and mandatory water conservation stages to minimize the effect of a shortage of water on the city's customers and, by means of this chapter, to adopt provi- sions that will significantly reduce the consumption of water over an extended period of time, thereby extend- ing the available water required for the city's customers while reducing the hardship to the greatest extent possi- ble on or to the city and on or to the general public.

The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all customers, as defined herein, regardless of whether any customer using water shall have a contract for water service with the city. Notwithstanding other municipal code provisions inconsistent with this chapter, the provi- sions of this chapter shall supersede and prevail for the duration of the emergency and until termination of this chapter.
