premises, the Director of Public Works shall cause the water supply to be cut

the owner, occupant or person in possession, charge or control of such
building, structure or premises to stop such waste. In those cases where the
water supply is cut off from any building, structure or premises, the water
supply shall not again be turned on until a minimum fee as provided in

not granted. The application for any such permit shall be submitted
on forms approved by the Director of Public Works. Conditions of
permit approval may be established so as to minimize the degree of
variation which would occur while reducing the financial hardship
which would otherwise result in adhering to the normal outdoor
watering restrictions.

Water System is approaching a water shortage situation and shall notify any
individuals performing work which normally requires a high volume of

fire hydrant flushing, shall be performed without the approval of the
Director of Public Works during periods in which the demand on the Village
Water System is approaching a critical water shortage situation.

production or transmission system failure or increased consumption, which may
result in water demands in excess of the Village Water System capacity, the
Village Manager is authorized to issue a public notice explaining the
0 0
situation, the expected duration (if such can reasonably be determined but
not to exceed fourteen days) and special water use restrictions which will be
in effect during the shortage and penalties for violation of the
restrictions. The provisions of the Village Manager's public notice shall
remain in effect until rescinded. The Village Manager's public notice may
establish restrictions, such as total or expanded daily periods of
restrictions on all outdoor water uses, in addition to those set forth in
this chapter.
13.16.040 Major industrial and commercial water user conservation
plans. The Director of Public Works will review water consumption records,
and identify the major industrial and commercial water users. These water
users will be consulted in advance and their assistance solicited for the
development of alternative water conservation measures, which may be
voluntarily implemented during periods in which demand on the Village Water
System is approaching a water shortage situation. In the case in which the
Village Manager has issued a public notice that a water shortage exists in
accordance with Section 13.16.030, some or all of the identified alternative
water conservation measures as specified in the Village Manager's public
notice will be required to be implemented to such reasonably practical
degrees as will not impose serious economic hardships.

this chapter shall be punished as provided in Chapter 1.08.
