Water Division Staff shall monitor and evaluate the projected supply and demand for water by its customers. In the event of a water shortage, staff will recommend to the City Council such water shortage plan or plans as provided in this chapter which permit Water Division Staff to prudently plan for and supply water to its customers. The City Council may then order implementation of such water shortage plan or plans as provided in this chapter which it deems appropriate to address the water shortage. The order may be made by public proclamation and shall be published one time only in a daily newspaper of general circulation and shall become effective immediately upon such publication. At any time during the water shortage period, the City Council may implement another plan as provided in this chapter. Upon finding by the City Council that a water shortage no longer exists, any water shortage plan then in effect shall terminate.
