RESOLUTION RESTRICTING OUTDOOR WATER USAGE

the City Council has determined that a shortage of water supply is threatening
the City's water supply system due to the high demand of water used for
sprinkling lawns and gardens and other outdoor uses as a result of weather
conditions; and
Prior Lake City Code title 9, Chapter 4, Section 15 provides a means by
which water usage regulations may be implemented.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE,
MNNESOT A, that:
1. Lawn or garden sprinkling and other non-essential outdoor use of the
Municipal Water System shall be restricted to an odd/even system.
Residents with an odd house number may water lawns or use an
outside hose, when necessary, only on odd numbered calendar days.
Residents with an even house number may water lawns or use an
outside hose, when necessary, only on even numbered calendar days.
2. Such restrictions shall take effect immediately upon notification
pursuant to Prior Lake City Code.
3. The City Manager is hereby authorized to Impose additional
restrictions, if necessary.
4. Any new sod and landscaping installed within the past 60 days and any
laid in the future from the date of this Resolution shall not be affected
by this ban.
5. The staff is directed to prepare a flyer for delivery to all water users
through the postal service and other means as appropriate advising
them of this Resolution and where a copy can be secured, the specific
restrictions, the effective date, and the penalties for noncompliance.
