In the event it appears that water demand on the water system may exceed supply and transmission capabilities, the Utilities Director may recommend to the City Manager that voluntary water conservation measures be implemented. The City Manager, following consultation with the City Council, may declare a Stage I water shortage condition advisory requesting voluntary water conservation by consumers. In the event that voluntary conservation measures fail to relieve the demand on the system, the city may advance to Stage II or Stage III water shortage condition. The City Manager, following consultation with the City Council, may with or without the recommendation of the Utilities Director declare that a Stage II or Stage III water shortage condition exists.
