Whenever the Mayor is informed by the Director of Public Utilities or WWD that a potential shortage of water supply is indicated, the Mayor shall be empowered to declare by adoption of this section that voluntary conservation conditions exist. The Director of Public Utilities shall monitor the supply and demand upon that supply. In addition, the Mayor is authorized to call upon all water customers to employ voluntary water conservation measures as outlined in the Village Water Shortage Response Plan to limit water use (especially Category 3: Non-Essential Uses) and eliminate the waste of water. The declaration of voluntary conservation shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area that qualifies under G.S. 1-597, and may be publicized through the village web site, Facebook page, e-mail, general news media, radio, cable TV, or any other appropriate method for making such information public.
