St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 8: Water Supply <br />170 <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 critical <br />water deficiency, public water supply authorities appropriating water must <br />adopt and enforce water conservation restrictions within their jurisdiction <br />that are consistent with rules adopted by the commissioner. The restrictions <br />must limit lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course and park irrigation, <br />and other nonessential uses, and have appropriate penalties for failure to <br />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 included <br />in APPENDIX 7. The City Council will sit as an Emergency Water Supply <br />Board to impose and enforce water use restrictions.
