Glasgow Stage Two ordinance (§ 710.030)
Chapter 710: Water Conservation Plan
In short: During Stage Two of a water shortage, Stage One limits stay in place, and residents are asked not to use hydrant water except for fires, drinking or animals. Watering plants is prohibited except by handheld hose, container or drip irrigation, at times set by the Water Department. Businesses are asked to cut use by 30%.
Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.
A. Stage One restrictions would remain in effect plus the following restrictions would also be requested:
1. No use of water from a fire hydrant except for fighting fires, human consumption, or use in connection with animals.
2. Watering of any lawn, garden, landscaped area, tree, shrub, or other plan shall be prohibited, except from a handheld hose or container, or drip irrigation system. Such watering shall be permitted only at times designated by the management of City Water Department.
3. Commercial and industrial users would be requested to reduce their water consumption by thirty percent (30%).
B. If, after the initiation of Stage Two, weather conditions, expected trends in demand, or other factors indicate that the threat of a water shortage will continue or worsen, or if a serious problem or system emergency should develop, the mandatory measures of Stage Three would be implemented.
