Whenever the governing body of the town finds that a potential shortage of water supply is indicated, it shall be empowered to declare by adoption of an ordinance that voluntary conservation conditions exist, and that the Director of Public Services shall, on a daily basis, monitor the supply and demand upon that supply. In addition, the Mayor (or his or her agent) is authorized to call upon all water customers to employ voluntary water conservation measures, as set forth hereto, to limit water use (especially Class 3 uses) and eliminate the waste of water. This section shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area which qualifies under G.S. § 1-597, and may be publicized through the general news media or any other appropriate method for making such resolutions public.
