Whenever an officer of the Utility Commission, the public supplier of potable water in the city and Johnson County, finds that a condition exists where it will not be able to meet the expected needs of its customers, upon written certification thereof to the Mayor, the Mayor may publicly declare a water shortage alert. In addition to the declaration, the Mayor may call upon all customers of the Utility Commission to employ voluntary water conservation, and to eliminate the waste of all treated water and to use treated water outside of buildings (such usage to include, but not limited to, car washing, driveway washing, filling of swimming pools; use and filling of fountains and watering of lawns, bushes and trees) only in accordance with schedules to be promulgated at that time.
