Under these conditions, the city council may find, and declare by resolution, a public water watch, water warning, or water emergency, during which time the following measures and provisions of this chapter shall be in effect to produce an orderly and equitable reduction of water consumption until, by resolution, the city council finds and declares the water shortage condition to be ended.
