The ordinance, which is scheduled to end on October 31, was put into place to prioritize water availability for domestic and household use and fire suppression. The water shortage has become an emergency issue, affecting the health, safety and welfare of the community. The aim was to reduce irrigation through the summer and lower water use on the system overall by 30% to 40%.
