St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 8: Water Supply <br />179 <br /> <br />Enforcement <br />Minnesota Statutes require public water supply authorities to adopt and <br />enforce water conservation restrictions during periods of critical water <br />shortages. As stated in Minnesota Statutes 103G.291, Subdivision 1, <br />regarding public water supply appropriation during deficiency, if the <br />governor determines and declares by executive order that there is a <br />critical water deficiency, public water supply authorities appropriating <br />water must adopt and enforce water conservation restrictions within their <br />jurisdiction that are consistent with rules adopted by the commissioner. <br />The restrictions must limit lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course <br />and park irrigation, and other nonessential uses, and have appropriate <br />penalties for failure to comply with the restrictions. <br />The City has a critical water deficiency ordinance defined in St. Anthony <br />City Code, Chapter 52: Section 52.08. A copy of this ordinance is <br />included in Appendix 7. The City Council will sit as an Emergency Water <br />Supply Board to impose and enforce water use restrictions.
