§ 25.102. Determination of Water Supply Shortage.

The City of Vernon, in its sole discretion, may determine that due to drought or other water supply conditions, a water supply shortage or threatened shortage exists and a consumer demand reduction is necessary to make more efficient use of water and appropriately respond to existing water conditions and that corrective measures shall be undertaken pursuant to a Phase I, Phase II or a Phase III Water Supply Shortage. When the City determines a water supply shortage exists, a notice thereof shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation and a copy of said notice shall be sent with each water bill or by any other mailing to the address to which the City customarily mails the billing statement for fees for water service. Any prohibitions or limitations on the use of water, beyond those established in section 25.101, shall become effective thirty (30) days after such mailing or on such a date as specified in the notice.
