Termination of any stage of a declared water emergency shall be determined and ordered by the City Manager or his or her designee when he or she, in direct consultation with the Director of Public Utilities or his or her designee, determines that the water supply available for use by the city water system is no longer so low as to constitute a water emergency under the terms of this section. Upon termination of any water emergency and any stage thereof, all fines or penalties incurred by any consumer of water from the city's water system shall remain in effect until paid. Upon such termination, discontinued users may have their service restored upon payment of the regular fees charged to customers who have had their water service disconnected; provided however, no such fees shall be charged to consumers who had their water service discontinued.
