A. In addition to any other remedies which may otherwise be available to the City, the City Council makes the following findings and declarations;
B. The waste of water, as that term is defined herein, on public or private property within the City, is found to contribute to and compound drought conditions which may, from time to time, exist in the City, to the detriment of one of our most precious and finite resources, to wit, water. Such conditions cause injury to the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Visalia. Therefore, the waste of water within the City, on private or public property, except as expressly permitted in this chapter, is declared to constitute a public nuisance which may be abated in an action brought on behalf of the people of the state of California, by the City attorney, in any court of competent jurisdiction.
