(A) The town wants to be prepared in case of a water emergency. The town does not want to be accused of “crying wolf” but wants to be prepared in case of an unforeseen problem. This Water Conservation Plan is designed to exercise proper stewardship over our water resources.
(B) Although water conservation can be imposed on the public, it must be voluntarily and willingly accepted as a shared responsibility between the water providers and the water users of the town to be truly effective. The town can succeed in meeting its long-term water conservation and supply goals and its commitment to maintaining the town’s status as a desirable place to live only if water users are willing to embrace and practice a conservation life style.
(C) This Water Conservation Plan will remain in effect for the time period required for the town to develop and implement additional water sources and storage to meet the town water user’s demand, successfully install meters on all services, and establish and bill for water usage based on a metered usage. While the town believes this will take approximately three years, many of the factors critical to meeting this time period are not under the control of the town.
