AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
SARATOGA AMENDING ORDINANCE NO.
71.61E PERTAINING TO CONSERVATION OF
WATER
The City Council of the City of Saratoga hereby ordains
as'follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and determines that:
(a) Although water consumption within the City has been
significantly reduced as a result of compliance by citizens of
Saratoga with the conservation measures required under Ordinance
No. 71.61E, as adopted by the City Council on March 28, 1989, the
drought conditions still exist and efforts to conserve water must
therefore be continued.
(b) Because the quantity of rain was again below normal
during the 1989-90 rainy season, it is necessary to reinstate the
restriction against exterior landscape watering during daylight
hours that was repealed by Ordinance No. 71.61E-1. There is an
urgent need to impose such restriction immediately in order to
conserve the scarce water supply.
SECTION 2: Subparagraph (a)(7) is added to Section 2 of
Ordinance No. 71.61E, to read as follows:
"No exterior landscape watering shall be
allowed during the day between the hours of 10
a.m. and 6 p.m."
SECTION 3: Subparagraph (a)(8) in Section 2 of Ordinance No.
71.61E is hereby repealed.
SECTION 4: Except as herein amended, Ordinance No. 71.61E is
declared to be in full force and effect.
SECTION 5: This Ordinance is an urgency ordinance and shall
become effective immediately upon adoption.
