If the city council adopts a resolution declaring a water shortage or any emergency in the water system as set out in Section 13.07.030, the utilities director or designee is authorized and directed to take any appropriate action which in their judgment will best conserve water during the duration of the emergency; such action may include but is not limited to the following:

A. Specify the days and/or hours during which water users may irrigate; and

B. Increase water demand reduction, public outreach and water allotment programs, and impose system and operational changes as necessary;

C. Notify owner or owners of property in writing of leaks in the water line on their private property and require repair of such leaks within forty-eight hours after such notification. During a water shortage or for significant leaks, the water department shall turn off the water on the property until the leak is repaired. Service will be restored after the property owner corrects the leak. (Ord. 1704 § 11, 2021; Ord. 1116 § 2 (part), 1988)
