(A) Upon notice, either oral or written, from the Utility Manager that he has determined that conditions exist which may, or do, give rise to a shortage of water in the utility, or water pressure in the utility's water system, or both, the Mayor shall be empowered to declare that an appropriate water conservation level shall be in effect.
(B) The Mayor shall, at the time that a declaration of water conservation is made, determine the level of conservation which shall be imposed upon the users of the utility.
(C) The Mayor shall, at his earliest opportunity, consult with the Board of Public Works and Safety, either at a regular session or a special session called for that purpose. At the meeting, the Mayor, together with Utility Manager, shall advise the Board as to the status of the water problem, the steps that have been taken to remedy the problem, and the Board shall determine the length of time that the level of conservation shall be maintained, propose solutions for the immediate and/or long term problem, and consider such other items as the Mayor and the Board shall deem necessary.
