(a) In event of mechanical, structural, or other type of failure or hydraulic limitation of any part of the county water transmission and distribution system, upon notification by the JCDPU, the County Manager may declare a water distribution crisis. These restrictions may be imposed by the County Manager after consideration of all of the following factors:
(1) Water pressure at monitoring locations of the JCDPU water distribution system.
(2) Ability to fill elevated water tanks of the JCDPU water distribution system and/or bulk user tanks.
(3) Ability to maintain minimum safe water pressure levels in any portion of the JCDPU water distribution system.
(b) A water distribution crisis for any part or the entire distribution system may be implemented by the County Manager by issuing a notice of declared water distribution crisis. The notice shall be in effect beginning with the date and time specified in the notice and the restrictions imposed shall apply during the times specified in the notice.
(c) During a declared water distribution crisis, the County Manager may impose the restrictions as for a water shortage alert (see section 24-74) or a water shortage emergency (see section 24-75) at all times or during such limited times as the County Manager upon advice of the Director of JCDPU, determines to be appropriate. The restrictions on water use may be limited to a portion(s) of the distribution system or the entire system as deemed appropriate by the JCDPU and County Manager.
