This section clarifies the distinction between resource-based and system based shortages, the latter being due to a mechanical failure or other operational problem with said system. This section allows the Village of Tequesta to declare a water shortage and impose restrictions when a problem with its water supply system is experienced. The Village Attorney told Council he met today with the District. The need for a mandatory water use restriction was not needed at this time, the District felt because there had been some rain to eliminate some of the water withdrawal problem. The Village Attorney recommended that at this time the Village Council not adopt this model ordinance. • Mapes said he would like to make sure the District will stand behind us and force other entities on our water system and not in Tequesta, to adhere to an emergency moratorium that may be called.
