§ 38-228. Criteria for initiation and termination  


Latest version.
  • (a) The mayor or his designee shall initiate or terminate a particular stage of this plan when the trigger requirements for that stage, as specified in this article, are reached. The water use reduction goals, supply measures, and water use restrictions for each stage are defined in the sections of division.

    (b) The trigger requirements described in this article are based on the levels of the raw water supply and current production levels and capacities of the water plants and the distribution systems.

    (c) In general, the declared drought stage will be the same for all water customers supplied by the city. Under some circumstances, however, it may be reasonable and prudent to have different stage levels for different portions, areas or regions of the city water supply systems.
