Upon a finding that the municipal water supply system is or
may become incapable of providing an adequate water supply for normal
usage due to a prolonged drought, system failure, or any other event,
the City Manager or designee may declare that water usage must be
curtailed. The declaration shall include the effective date, the reason
for the declaration, and the level of prohibition declared. The City
Manager or designee may include an estimated time for review and revocation
of the declaration.

B. Citation
After the resident has received a warning letter, any subsequent
