This subchapter does not affect the power of the City Public Works Director or City Emergency Management Officer to provide water from a source of water other than the regular source of water for temporary periods of time to any property in the city or its extra-territorial jurisdiction during times of emergencies, severe drought or when the health and safety of city residents will be affected by the quality of water supplied or interruptions in the supply of water; provided, however, that, unless no water can be supplied by the regular source of water, the temporary period of time shall not continue for more than seven days, unless a longer specified time period is approved by supermajority vote of the City Council.
