   The purpose of this article is to provide a mandatory water conservation plan to reduce water consumption and avoid overloading the City’s sewage treatment system so as to reduce sewer flows by at least 10 percent within five years of the effective date of this ordinance. In particular, the Xeriscape requirements include providing alternatives for achieving reduction in landscape water consumption.
