Construction of nonessential water-using facilities which are
attached to the water system, including but not limited to underground
sprinkler systems, swimming pools, and certain types of air-conditioning,
refrigeration and heating units, are required to obtain a permit from
the Department.
Permits for uses of water considered nonessential will only
be granted where the applicant has demonstrated to the Department
that sufficient capacity in the supply, storage, and distribution
facilities is available and that proper backflow measures have been
taken.
In periods of drought or emergency, the Town shall have the
right to restrict nonessential uses of water such as the use of water
for sprinkling, pools or other outside nonessential use or to prohibit
such use entirely. The Town shall publish notice of such restriction
in the official Town newspaper and on the Town website. Notification
shall also be provided when the restrictions are lifted.
