(a) Whenever the Board of Supervisors finds that Water Supply Emergency conditions exist, the Board may, by resolution, issue a declaration of Water Supply Emergency. The existence of such conditions may be determined from information obtained by the Board from Loudoun Water, recommendations from the County Administrator, or from any other source determined appropriate and prudent by the Board. Such resolution shall provide that it shall be in effect for the duration of such emergency conditions and shall direct the County Administrator, in consultation with Loudoun Water, to report to the Board when such conditions no longer exist.
(1) Determine whether Water Supply Emergency - Warning Stage or Water Supply Emergency - Emergency Stage conditions exist, and shall promulgate regulations consistent with such determination; and
(2) Be permitted to upgrade a determination of Water Supply Emergency - Warning Stage conditions to Water Supply Emergency -Emergency Stage conditions, or downgrade a determination of Water Supply Emergency - Emergency Stage conditions to Water Supply Emergency - Warning Stage conditions, whenever appropriate to ensure Loudoun Water's ability to deliver adequate supplies of potable water to customers for normal levels of potable water usage.
