Stage 5 Trigger -- EMERGENCY Water Shortage Conditions

Requirements for initiation

Customers shall be required to comply with the requirements and restrictions for Stage 5 of this Plan when Board President, or his/her designee, determines that a water supply emergency exists based on:

Major water line breaks, or pump or system failures occur, which cause unprecedented loss of capability to provide water service; or
Natural or man-made contamination of the water supply source(s).
Requirements for termination

Stage 5 of the Plan may be rescinded when all of the conditions listed as triggering events have ceased to exist for a period of seven (7) consecutive days.

Stage 5 Response -- EMERGENCY Water Shortage Conditions

Best Management Practices for Supply Management:

Additional measures to be implemented directly by L-T-G WSC to manage limited water supplies and/or reduce water demand: Discontinued flushing of water mains, discontinued irrigation of public landscaped areas; use of an alternative supply source(s).

Water being supplied to each Member may be limited to a fixed percentage of each such Member’s use in the prior month, the percentage to be applied on a system-wide basis, with each Member being notified of this percentage amount.

LTG WSC shall monitor “excessive watering” and “inefficient watering”, and issue notifications to customers. “Excessive watering” occurs where run-off extends for a distance greater than ten (10) feet from the point of use where there is washing or hosing down of buildings, sidewalks, driveways, patios, porches, parking surfaces or other paved surfaces. “Inefficient watering” includes but is not limited to overflowing water troughs or containment; leaking troughs, containment, or water lines; or constantly running or dripping water lines or faucets.

Water Use Restrictions for Reducing Demand. All requirements of Stage 2, 3, and 4 shall remain in effect during Stage 5 except:

(a) Irrigation of landscaped areas is absolutely prohibited, except subsistence gardens may be sustained by directly applying water with handheld containers only.

Note- No function of a properly operating septic system such as septic sprinklers or pumps shall be regulated.

(b) Use of water to wash any motor vehicle, motorbike, boat, trailer, airplane or other vehicle is absolutely prohibited.
