It is hereby declared that the conditions prevailing in areas served by Cucamonga
Valley Water District, the areas of the State of California and elsewhere from which
the District obtains its water supplies require that the water resources available
to the District be put to the maximum beneficial use to the extent to which they are
capable, and that waste or unreasonable method of use of water be prevented, and the
conservation of such waters is to be exercised with a view to the reasonable and beneficial
use thereof in the interests of the people of the District and for the public welfare.
Water Code Section 350 et seq., and Section 375 et seq. authorize the District to
declare a water shortage emergency condition whenever it finds and determines that
the ordinary demands and requirements of water consumers will not be satisfied without
depleting the water supply of the District to the extent that there will be insufficient
water for human consumption, sanitation and fire protection. The District has the
power and authority to enact a water shortage contingency plan and water conservation
measures pursuant to Water Code Section 350 et seq., to ensure an available water
supply at the levels necessary to maintain human consumption, sanitation, and fire
protection during the period as described herein.
