<br /> 1. All of the prohibitions, restrictions, and rec-
<br />ommendations set forth during Stages 1, 2, and 3 shall
<br />all be in effect and shall all be mandatory.
<br /> 2. Washing of autos, trucks, trailers, and other
<br />types of mobile equipment is permitted only at commer-
<br />cial car wash facilities that recycle all or part of the wa-
<br />ter.
<br /> 3. Outdoor watering under Stage 4 is restricted
<br />as follows:
<br /> a. Single-family residential individually me-
<br />tered and multi-family (non-irrigation) classes shall be
<br />limited in the use of all outdoor watering to hand-
<br />watering using a hose with a positive shut-off nozzle,
<br />drip, or subsurface irrigation on two non-consecutive
<br />days per week.
<br /> b. All other water customers classes not falling
<br />under subsection (D)(2)(a) (with the exception of com-
<br />mercial nurseries, public sport fields, golf courses, and
<br />other water dependent industries, per subsection
<br />(D)(2)(c)) shall be limited in the use of all outdoor wa-
<br />tering to hand-watering using a hose with a positive
<br />shut-off nozzle, drip, or subsurface irrigation to two
<br />non-consecutive weekdays; specified as Mondays and
<br />Thursdays unless otherwise granted permission for al-
<br />ternate watering days by the director.
<br /> c. Commercial nurseries, public sport fields,
<br />golf courses and other water dependent industries shall
<br />work together with city staff under the direction of the
<br />director to develop an approved irrigation schedule.
<br /> i. Irrigation system checks for breaks/leak
<br />repairs by on-site irrigation professionals who remain on
<br />site directly observing the system are excluded.
<br /> E. Stage 5—Up to 50 Percent Mandatory Re-
<br />duction. Definable events, including, but not limited to,
<br />AWSDA findings, lead to a firm conclusion that water
<br />supply is considerably inadequate to meet customers’
<br />water demands; and/or earlier stages have been in effect
<br />and the reduction goal is not being met, therefore further
<br />action is necessary to reduce water demand. The follow-
<br />ing mandatory restrictions shall be applicable during a
<br />Stage 5 activation of the water shortage contingency
<br />plan:
<br /> 1. All of the prohibitions, restrictions, and rec-
<br />ommendations set forth during Stages 1, 2, 3, and 4 shall
<br />all be in effect and shall all be mandatory.
<br /> 2. No person shall empty and refill a swim-
<br />ming pool except to prevent or repair structural damage
<br />or to comply with public health regulations.
<br /> 3. Potable water shall not be used for decora-
<br />tive ponds, basins, lakes, waterways, and fountains.
<br /> F. Stage 6—More than 50% Mandatory Reduc-
<br />tion. Definable events, including, but not limited to,
<br />AWSDA findings, have severely compromised water
<br />supply in the current water year; and/or earlier stages
<br />have been in effect and the reduction goal is not being
<br />met, therefore further action is necessary to reduce water
<br />demand. The following mandatory restrictions shall be
<br />applicable during a Stage 6 activation of the water short-
<br />age contingency plan:
<br /> 1. All of the prohibitions, restrictions, and rec-
<br />ommendations set forth during Stages 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
<br />shall all be in effect and shall all be mandatory.
<br /> 2. The irrigation of turf or lawn using potable
<br />water is prohibited. All water customers, with the excep-
<br />tion of commercial nurseries, golf courses, sport fields,
<br />and other water dependent industries, shall be limited in
<br />the use of all other non-lawn area watering to hand-
<br />watering from a container of less than five-gallon capac-
<br />ity on no more than two days per week. The aforemen-
<br />tioned water dependent industries shall work with city
<br />staff under the direction of the director to develop an
<br />approved irrigation schedule.
<br /> 3. No person shall drain and refill swimming
<br />pools and spas. Nor shall new pools be filled.
<br /> 4. Laundromats are prohibited from using non-
<br />efficient washing machines.
<br /> G. Public Health and Safety. These regulations
<br />shall not be construed to limit water use which is imme-
<br />diately necessary to protect public health and/or safety.
<br /> H. During any of the water shortage stages de-
<br />scribed in this section, the city council may impose addi-
<br />tional irrigation parameters to align with regional water
<br />agencies by resolution. (Ord. 2231 § 2, 2022; Ord. 2221
<br />§ 2, 2021; Ord. 2148 § 1, 2016; Ord. 2118 § 1, 2015;
<br />Ord. 2104 § 1, 2014; Ord. 2092 § 1, 2014)
<br />
<br />9.30.090 Emergency shutoff—Nonessential use.
<br /> A. It is the purpose of the city to protect the
<br />public health, safety and welfare, as well as property of
<br />customers within the city. Any time there is evidence
<br />that the fire storage water volume is threatened in any
<br />reservoir or that low water pressure may occur in any
<br />pressure zone, the city may, without notice, temporarily
<br />shut off by locking out any water service connection.
<br />The city shall restore such service as soon as an ade-
<br />quate water supply is assured. Efforts will be made to
<br />contact customers from the billing information on record
<br />if it appears that service will be interrupted for more
<br />than 24 hours.
<br /> B. Emergency public announcements may be
<br />made by electronic media, local radio and television
<br />whenever a shut off is found to be necessary. (Ord. 2231
<br />§ 2, 2022; Ord. 2221 § 2, 2021; Ord. 2148 § 1, 2016;
