CITY OF SANFORD WATER SHORTAGE OMNANC TULY 30, 2003 ensure that sufficient water is available to preserve the public health and sanitation and to provide fire protection service. This immediate further reduction in water usage is another step along a continuum of responses to any Water Shortage Emergency. Should the crisis continue, further reductions in water usage might be required. It must be emphasized that additional usage reductions in the rationed area is a valid and attainable goal reflective of the conditions of the crisis. b.

The success of this policy depends on the cooperation of all water users in the emergency area. DIVISION IILENFORCEMENT & PENALTIES Sec.
