Glasgow Stage Three (Mandatory) ordinance (§ 710.040)
Chapter 710: Water Conservation Plan
In short: During Stage Three water restrictions, residents may not wash paved areas, refill pools with city water, use water for recreation or dust control, or water any lawn, garden or plant. Vehicles may be washed only from a bucket. Large commercial and industrial users must follow a city-approved conservation plan or face Section 710.080 penalties.
Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.
A. No washing of sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, tennis courts, patios, or other paved areas, no pumping of fountain recirculating water.
B. No refilling of swimming pools with water furnished by the City.
C. No use of water for recreational uses such as water slides or yard play.
D. No washing of cars, other motor vehicles, trailers, or boats except from a bucket.
E. No water to be used for dust control.
F. No flushing of mains by Water Department personnel, except to alleviate specific customer complaints.
G. No use of water from a fire hydrant except for fighting fires, human consumption, or use in connection with animals.
H. Watering of any lawn, garden, landscaped area, tree, shrub, or other plant shall be prohibited.
I. It would be mandatory that all large commercial and industrial users follow a previously submitted consideration plan for their operation which has been approved by the City Water Department. A customer that fails to submit a conservation plan would be subject to the penalties of Section 710.080 of this Chapter.
J. Depending upon the severity of the problem, the plan could revert back to Stage One or Two or be canceled as conditions improve.
