A. 
The city council has caused a survey to be made of the water supply within the city and has determined that it is necessary for the health, welfare and fire protection of the citizens and property within the city that water consumption for other than domestic uses be restricted from time to time as determined by the city council.
B. 
The city council may, from time to time, determine periods of water shortage within the city and restrict the consumption of water for domestic uses only and prohibit the use of water for gardens, lawns and all other uses at specified times by proper action of the council.
C. 
Notice of water restrictions established by the city council shall be duly published in a newspaper of general circulation within the city at least once prior to the enforcement of such regulation.
Such publication shall contain the effective date of the water restrictions and describe the method of water rationing or restrictive use.
D. 
It is unlawful for any person to use or consume water from the city water system for purposes other than domestic and household uses during periods of water restriction as determined by the city council and published as prescribed by this section.
(Prior code § 29-60)
It is unlawful for any person to use water from the water utility as a cooling medium in any appliance, device or apparatus in excess of five tons of cooling capacity unless such apparatus can be shown to be a recyclical system with retention and reuse without an approved backflow prevention device.
(Prior code § 29-61; Ord. 18-017 § 22, 2018)
In the event of fire, water shortage or other emergency, the city shall have the authority to require the curtailment of the use of water and to make such other restrictions as to the use thereof as is deemed necessary for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the city.
(Prior code § 29-63)
Any person receiving city water may have a separate and supplemental source of water for irrigation or any other special use, except for domestic use, subject to the following conditions:
A. 
In the event the supplemental source of water is an underground well, a copy of the well permit issued by the state engineer shall be filed with the public works director.
B. 
No installation of pipe, pump, valve, plumbing or any part thereof of the supplemental water supply shall be interconnected in any way to any pump, pipe, valve, plumbing or plumbing fixture which supplies water from the city.
C. 
To protect the health, safety and welfare of persons served by the city water system, the city may at any time, without notice, discontinue water service or disconnect the water service, or both, to any person that utilizes a supplemental source of water, should the city obtain evidence that a cross connection exists between the city water system and the supplemental source of water.
D. 
When notified, a city water consumer shall immediately disconnect and remove any pipe, pump, valve or fixture which the city finds to be a potential cross connection between the city water system and the supplemental source of water.
E. 
The city may, at any time, require any city water user who has a supplemental source of water operated under pressure to install an approved double check valve or other cross connection control device approved for low hazard back siphonage and back pressure by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality. The installation shall be made at the city water user's expense and shall be installed at the location of the meter or at such other location approved by the city.
