(A) It is imperative that water customers achieve an immediate further reduction in water use in order to extend existing water supplies and, at the same time, assure that sufficient water is available to preserve the public health and sanitation and to provide fire protection service.
(B) Should shortages continue, further reductions in usage may be required. The additional usage reduction in the rationed area must be a valid and attainable goal reflective of the conditions which currently exist.
(C) The plan provides for equitable reductions in water usage and for equal sacrifice on the part of each water consumer. The success of this ordinance depends on the cooperation of all water customers in the emergency area.
