(A) For the purpose of this chapter, the following definition shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
WATER USE Restriction of use of water from city lines for a period of time as determined by the City Manager when there exists insufficient or inadequate water supply or pressure to provide safe and adequate water service to the city or portions thereof.
(B) The Manager is hereby authorized to declare a water use restriction for the entire city or a portion thereof, whenever he determines in his discretion that significant water pressure problems exist within the city or portions thereof, to warrant such action. Such restriction shall exist from the time it is formally announced until the time it is formally canceled. Further, a water use restriction shall be subject to review by Council within seven days of the issuance thereof.
(C) Whenever a water use restriction is declared, the Manager shall request that the local news media announce the existence of the restriction, its time of operation and the area in which it will apply. Cancellation shall be accomplished in the same manner.
(D) Whenever a water use restriction is in effect, all forms of non-essential water use including lawn sprinkling, car washing or uses specifically set forth by the Manager within the water use restriction shall be prohibited except as such water use comes from a private water supply.
