(A) The Public Works Director is authorized to declare a Stage 3 water emergency when additional reductions in deliveries will occur to level such that Stage 2 water use reduction measures and inter-service area water transfers, water withdrawals from town wells and feasible water supply insufficiency due to system limitation or structural failure has occurred, and Stage 2 water use reduction measures and supply augmentation measures are either not possible or will not meet expected unrestricted demand. The declaration may designate the entire water as served by the Town of Florence, or a portion or portions of the service area as affected, in the event the shortage is not system-wide.
(B) Upon implementation by the Public Works Director or designated representative, mandatory water use reduction programs will be implemented and the surcharge recalculated and applied to meet the increased regulation and enforcement expenses.
