If a Level 1 Water Emergency is declared, all residents and businesses will be required to reduce water usage. Non-essential water activities, such as lawn watering and vehicle washing, would be prohibited. Businesses may face operational restrictions, and additional charges could be imposed for excess water use, though certain large-volume customers are exempt due to prior agreements. The ongoing drought and low reservoir levels pose significant risks to the region's water security, potentially impacting daily life and economic activities.
