(a) Water rationing shall occur when the Utility can not reliably provide water or pressure to its users by any practical means other than imposing specific allocations of waters on the users, in such amounts that are determined equitable by the City.
(b) Unless an emergency exists, the Mayor shall call a special joint meeting of the Board and Common Council prior to the Utility adopting a Level 4 water condition. In the event that an emergency exists or it is impractical to call a special joint session of the Board and Common Council, the Mayor may declare a Level 4 water condition, but, shall convene the special joint session as soon thereafter as possible.
(c) After the establishment of the Level 4 water condition, the Board, upon the advice of the Mayor, shall advise the users of the amounts of water that will be permitted to the user and the method of water distribution or control.
