§ 51.77 EFFECTIVENESS.

   (A)   The effectiveness of the Water Shortage Response Plan will be determined by comparing the stated water conservation goals with observed water use reduction data. Other factors to be considered include frequency of plan activation, any problem periods without activation, total number of violation citations, desired reductions attained and evaluation of demand reductions compared to the previous year's seasonal data.

   (B)   As the determining parameter(s) decrease in severity and return to acceptable levels (seasonal norms), the Town Manager will lift the Water Shortage Response Plan.

§ 51.78 RETURN TO NORMAL.

   When water shortage conditions have been abated and the situation is returning to normal, water conservation measures employed during each phase should be decreased in reverse order of implementation. Permanent measures directed toward long-term monitoring and conservation should be implemented or continued so that the community will be in a better position to prevent shortages and respond to recurring water shortage conditions.

(Ord. 09-10-25, passed 6-14-10)

§ 51.79 REVISION.

   The Water Shortage Response Plan will be reviewed and revised as needed to adapt to new circumstances affecting water supply and demand, following implementation of emergency restrictions, and at a minimum of every five years in conjunction with the updating of our Local Water Supply Plan. Further, a water shortage response planning work group will review procedures following each emergency or rationing stage to recommend any necessary improvements to the Plan to the Town Governing Board. The Public Works and Utilities Director is responsible for initiating all subsequent revisions.
