§ 4.24.020. Declaration of purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The purpose of this Chapter is to establish a Water Supply Shortage Contingency Plan to minimize the effect of cutbacks in Cucamonga Valley Water District's water supply and to adopt provisions that will significantly reduce the consumption of water thereby extending the available water required for the District's customers. Water shortage conditions can be caused by a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: drought, equipment breakdown, power outage, and failure or maintenance of the imported water system. Shortage conditions can take the form of both short-term and long-term events. A short term event may only impact operations for a period of hours or days, while long term events could last weeks, months or years. Response to the shortage is dependent upon the severity of the shortage, the part of the system affected, current system demands, and projected longevity of the situation.
