§ 52.31. Conditions deemed emergency.  


Latest version.
  • A state of emergency shall be deemed to exist whenever, in the opinion of the Public Works Director, the availability and supply of water is critical so that a mechanical malfunction or breakdown of the town's pumps or a rapid draw down of the water supply would so deplete the water supply and availability of water as to threaten or cause to threaten the availability of water for human consumption, for firefighting purposes and other protection of lives and property, so, as in the opinion of the Mayor and the Director of Public Works, the conservation of water is necessary in order to protect lives, safety and property within the town.
