Ordinance No. 2231 EXHIBIT A Chapter 9.30 WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN 9.30.010 Declaration of emergency. A water shortage emergency shall be declared by resolution of the city council. The city manager may administratively determine that any water shortage is terminated, and inform the city council of such determination.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide both voluntary 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 provisions that will significantly reduce the consumption of water over an extended period of time, thereby extending the available water required for the city's customers while reducing the hardship to the greatest extent possible on or to the city and on or to the general public. This chapter is also intended to implement the Urban Water Management Plan's water shortage contingency planning and stages of action.
