(a) Issuance of Proclamation. Whenever the water supply of the Village is diminished, from any cause whatsoever, to an amount which in the opinion of the Village Manager is or is likely to become dangerous to the health and safety of the public, the Manager is hereby authorized to issue a proclamation in the form of a public notice containing regulations on the use of water from the Village water distribution system. Such regulations may provide for the limited usage of water, limitations on days and hours of use for some or all purposes and the prohibition of specified uses. Upon issuing such proclamation, the Manager shall make the contents thereof known to the public by a news release to the local newspapers and radio media or in any other practical manner that the Manager may devise. Further, the Manager shall immediately notify all members of the Board of Trustees of the nature of the emergency and the regulations that have been imposed.
(1976 Code § 19-46; Ord. 542. Passed 7-9-79.)

(2) The Board of Trustees modifies, repeals or makes permanent the emergency proclamation and the regulations imposed thereby by means of an ordinance passed at any regular or special meeting of the Board.
(1976 Code § 19-47; Ord. 542. Passed 7-9-79.)
