There is sufficient uncertainty concerning water supply, either based upon AWSDA findings or unforeseeable events, to lead to the conclu- sion that supply may not adequately meet normal de- mand in the current or upcoming years. The following restrictions shall be applicable during a Stage 2 activa- tion of the water shortage contingency plan: 1. All of the Stage 1 restrictions, in subsection A, shall continue to be in effect during Stage 2, and shall be mandatory under a mandatory Stage 2 declaration. 2.

Or, previous water conserva- tion targets have not been met, therefore further action is necessary. The following mandatory restrictions shall be applicable during a Stage 3 activation of the water short- age contingency plan: 1.

The following mandatory restrictions shall be applicable during a Stage 4 activation of the water short- age contingency plan:
