A. The Director may declare a Stage 2 Water Warning when an insufficient water supply occurs due to water system or supply limitations or structural failure, or when a catastrophic incident limits the existing water supply or water delivery system. The declaration may designate the entire City service area or a portion of the service area, if the shortage is not system-wide.

B. On publication of a declaration by the Director of a Stage 2 Water Warning, elements of a Stage 2 Water Warning prescribed in the drought management plan may become mandatory and be enforced, as determined necessary by the Director. The elements may include, in addition to any other remedy available in this chapter, surcharges authorized by this chapter.

C. The Director may terminate the Stage 2 Water Warning when the Director determines that the conditions on which the Director declared the Stage 2 Water Warning no longer exist. (Ord. No. G-6741, § 2 (Exh. A), 2020)
