A. The purpose of this chapter is to reduce the nonessential use of water to conserve city water supplies, thereby minimizing the effect of a shortage of water supplies on city users. The water conservation plan here established is to:
1. Protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens and property owners of the city;
2. Assure the maximum beneficial use of city water supplies; and
3. Attempt to provide sufficient water supplies to meet the basic needs of human consumption, sanitation and fire protection.
B. This chapter shall remain in effect until the city council declares by ordinance that the provisions of this chapter are no longer applicable to existing water supply conditions and the supply of water available for distribution within the city's service area has been replenished or augmented. (Ord. 2151 § 1, 1991)
