(A) Evaluation of Plan effectiveness.
(1) In order to maintain the effectiveness and sustainability of the Water Shortage Response Plan, it is imperative to maintain accurate water use records. Water use records should be collected and monitored prior to, during, and after implementation of conservation restrictions.
(2) In evaluating the effectiveness of the Water Shortage Response Plan, the Public Works Director will compare historical use data to determine if the reduction amount is accurate. If reduction amounts are inadequate, the WSRP should be updated, with further conservation restrictions and triggers that initiate water conservation requirements earlier.
(3) The Public Works Director will monitor the frequency that the WRSP conservation restrictions are implemented, and recommend revisions to the governing board to correct for inappropriate water restrictions.
(4) The Public Works Director will monitor the water transmission system and water use records to determine if events outside of the scope of the WSRP require implementation of the water conservation methods in the WSRP. The triggers activating water conservation restrictions should be updated to reflect these observations.
(5) The Public Works Director will record citations and violations of the water conservation requirements. If citations and violation numbers are excessive, the WSRP may be revised to show additional public announcements, or to increase enforcement as described in § 51.106.
(B) Revisions to the Water Shortage Response Plan.
(1) In the event that evaluation of the WSRP indicates a revision is needed, the Public Works Director shall make recommendation to the governing body of the town.
(2) The governing body of the town will then consider revisions to the WSRP, based on the observations and data provided by the Public Works Director.
(3) Customers will have multiple opportunities to comment on the provisions of the Water Shortage Response Plan.
(a) First, a draft plan will be available at Town Hall for customers to view.
(b) A notice will be included in customer water bills notifying them of such.
(c) The Plan will be posted on the town's website.
(d) All subsequent revisions to the draft plan will be published at least 30 days prior to an adoption vote by the Town Council.
