AGENDA ITEM:
DISCUSSION:
HISTORY.
The purpose of this item is to consider approval of Ordinance OO-XX to amend
City Code Section 704.1500 which would allow the City Manager in consultation
with the Public Works Director to impose a total ban of outside water use in the
event of a water emergency. As you are aware we currently have an odd/even
address sprinkling ban for lawn or garden sprinkling, irrigation, car washing, and
other non-essential outdoor use of the municipal water system between May 1 st
through September 1 st (City Code 704.1500). This ordinance was enacted in
March of 1998.
CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES:
Previous to the wet period that we are currently experiencing, the metro area had
been experiencing drought like conditions. This drought pushed the City's
demand and "associated well pumping to a new record output on May 7th of
4,342,000 gallons in a twenty-four hour period. In the best case scenario, our
three wells can produce approximately 4.7 million gallons in a twenty-four hour
period. If we had lost a well due to a mechanical failure, we could have been in a
dire predicament if faced with a house fire or watermain break.
CONCLUSION::
In 1998, when the City Code was changed, there was discussion about allowing
the City Manager to have the ability to declare a water emergency and totally
restrict the outside use of water. However, this language was not included in the
new ordinance (see attached copy of existing ordinance). The old ordinance
would have required the City Council to pass a resolution to declare a water
emergency and deliver that resolution to all the residents prior to the actual
enforcement. The proposed ordinance (attached) which adds Section 704.1450,
will allow the City Manager, in consultation with the Public Works Director and
Utility Department, to declare a total ban on outside water use when the water
system is in imminent danger of failure to keep up with demand.

AN EQLAL OPPORTCNITY E\IPLOYER
TIT'T
ISSUES:
Currently there is not an easy method for staff and the City Council to declare a
water emergency and totally ban the outside use of city water. Drought, natural
disaster, mechanical failure, or fire emergency could necessitate such a ban. Staff
would recommend the adoption of the attached ordinance which allows for
emergency restrictions.
AL TERNA TIVES:
The alternatives are as follows:
1. Approve Ordinance OO-XX amending 704.1450 of the Prior Lake City Code.
2. Table this item for a specific reason.
3. Deny the ordinance OO-XX at this time.
