(a) "Water use restriction" means restriction of the use of water from City lines for a period of time as determined by the City Manager when there exists insufficient or inadequate water supply or pressure to provide safe and adequate water service to the City or portions thereof.
(b) The City Manager is hereby authorized to declare a water use restriction for the entire City or portions thereof whenever he determines in his discretion that significant water pressure problems exist within the City or such portions thereof, to warrant such action. Such restriction shall exist from the time it is formally announced until the time it is formally canceled.
(c) Whenever a water use restriction is declared, the City Manager shall request that the local news media announce the existence of the restriction, its time or operation and the area in which it will apply. Cancellation of the restriction shall be accomplished in the same manner.
(d) Whenever a water use restriction is in effect, all forms of nonessential water use including lawn sprinkling, car washing or uses specifically set forth by the City Manager within the water restriction shall be prohibited except as such water use comes from a private water supply.
