<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Keis and Members of City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Bill Dircks, Public Works Director <br /> <br />DATE: March 22, 2018 <br /> RE: Amendment to Water Ordinance with regard to Water Use Restrictions <br />At the March 14 City Council meeting, staff introduced the possibility of day time watering restrictions <br />to help with water conservation efforts in the City. Staff was directed to amend the water ordinance to <br />include a daytime watering ban. <br />There is already language in the ordinance regarding the Council’s ability to enact an odd/even <br />watering ban in times of drought if it wishes to do so. Language has been added to show the daytime <br />watering ban as well. The suggested restrictions will run every day between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. <br />from May 1 to September 30. The penalties are shown as a warning for the first offense and then civil <br />fines that increase in steps for each successive offense. <br />Staff recommends approving Ordinance Amendment 826 to the water ordinance with the new <br />restrictions taking effect June 1 this year so that there is time to advertise the new restrictions on social <br />media and through other avenues. <br /> <br />
