In the event of shortages or loss of pressure, the town council is authorized to restrict or limit uses allowed, means of water delivery, quantities that may be used, and hours of use and impose such other restrictions and limitations as may be necessary. In the event the total water supply shall be insufficient to meet all of the needs of the users, the town may prorate water available among the various users on such basis as is deemed equitable by the town, and may also prescribe a schedule of hours covering the use of water for irrigation purposes, or prohibit the use of water for irrigation purposes if at any time the total water supply or available artesian pressure shall be insufficient to meet all of the needs of the participating users for domestic, livestock, irrigation and other purposes. The order of priority of uses shall be: a) fire suppression; b) domestic use; c) commercial sale; d) livestock; e) industrial; f) irrigation; and g) other purposes. (Ord. 179, 10-5-2010)
