A. Created: The culinary water department of the town is hereby created. It shall administer the operation and maintenance of the culinary water system of the town. So far as is practically appropriate, this department shall operate and be governed separately from the irrigation water system 1 of the town.
B. Superintendent:
1. There is hereby created the position of superintendent of the culinary water system. His title shall be sometimes stated "superintendent" to indicate and parallel the customary usage and practice of distinguishing a culinary water supervisor or administrator as a "superintendent" and also to distinguish his office from that of the irrigation water system "superintendent". When the term "water" is used in this chapter, including its use in the application for water revenue embodied in this chapter, it shall be deemed to apply specifically and exclusively to culinary water furnished under this system, except where the context indicates to the contrary, particularly but not exclusively, where intermingling of culinary and irrigation water is prohibited.
2. The superintendent of the system shall manage and supervise the system pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and pursuant to resolutions, rules and regulations adopted by the town council from time to time prescribing his powers and duties and directing the manner and frequency with which he shall make reports to the mayor relating to the water system. All of the functions and activities of the superintendent shall be carried on under the direction of the mayor or council member appointed by the mayor. (Ord. 1992-1, 11-7-1992)
