Drought planning considers both water supplies and managing risk related to infrastructure, production, and delivery capabilities during periods of water shortages or mechanical failure. Water uses regulated or prohibited under this Drought Contingency Plan are considered to be nonessential and continuation of such uses during times of water shortage or other emergency water supply conditions are deemed to constitute a waste of water which subjects the offender(s) to penalties as defined as adopted in the City’s code of ordinances.
