§ 17.14.140A. Mandatory lawn watering rotation schedule.

(a)

In addition to the other procedures of this chapter, and whether or not any drought response stage has been declared, the city council may establish mandatory restrictions on lawn watering for water conservation, water conservation education, or peak water use demand purposes. Such restrictions may include, but not be limited to, the establishment of a mandatory lawn watering rotation schedule.

Whenever the city council directs that mandatory restrictions on lawn watering be imposed, the city manager shall cause a notice of such restrictions to be given through the general news media and by publication in the official city newspaper. The restrictions shall be effective upon publication for the duration and in the manner set forth in the notice.

(b)

Upon the imposition of mandatory restrictions under this section, any violation of the provisions of this section and the notice given under the authority of this section shall be deemed a misdemeanor. All enforcement and procedural provisions of Sections 17.14.090 and 17.14.100(a) apply to the provisions of this section, but the penalties for violation of the provisions of this section shall be an administrative fee of $250 per violation.
