A
WATER SHORTAGE shall be deemed to exist when water demand by customers connected to the county water system reaches the point where, in the opinion of the County Manager or his or her designee, continued or increased demand will equal or exceed the system supply or transmission capabilities and results in the condition whereby customers cannot be supplied with water to protect their health and safety. WATER SHORTAGES may also be deemed to exist when the reservoirs and river system that provides the water supply to the county water system experience such a demand that water systems throughout the area cannot be supplied with water to meet their needs. Upon the occurrences, demand must be substantially curtailed to relieve the water shortage as provided in this subchapter.
