(A) Nonresidential customers include commercial, industrial, institutional, public, and all other such users, with the exception of hospitals and health care facilities.
(B) Nonresidential water customers shall further reduce their water usage to 40 gallons per person per day.
(C) It is the primary responsibility of each nonresidential water customer to meet its mandated water use reduction goal in whatever manner possible, including limitation of operating hours or days, if necessary.
(D) The town will establish a water allotment for each nonresidential water customer, based upon a required further reduction of water usage when so required and notify the customer.
(E) Each nonresidential water user shall provide access to town personnel for purposes of meter reading and monitoring of compliance with this subchapter. All reasonable efforts will be made to contact customers to arrange for access.
(F) If the mandated further reduction in water usage cannot be obtained without imposing extraordinary hardship which threatens health and safety, the nonresidential customer may apply to the town for a variance. For these purposes, EXTRAORDINARY HARDSHIP means a permanent damage to property or an economic loss which is substantially more severe than the sacrifices borne by other water users subject to this water rationing ordinance. If the further reduction would cause an extraordinary hardship or threaten health or safety, a variance may be granted by the Town Council and a revised water use reduction requirement for the particular customer may be established. Any person aggrieved by a decision relating to such a variance may file a complaint with the Town Council.
(G) The town will provide each nonresidential customer with suggested means to reduce usage levels as set forth in § 50.098 of this subchapter.
