This article may be referred to as the "Emergency Water Regulations."
The Board of Trustees, in the capacity as Board of Water Commissioners,
may declare an emergency upon the advice of the Superintendent, and

at any time, and likewise to terminate such emergency. If the Board
of Trustees cannot convene in a reasonable time to make such determination
and to set such regulations, then the Mayor may do so. Any such determination

set forth in § 225, Part 5. Publication of a copy of such
determination and regulations in the official newspaper of the Village
of Brewster and posting of a copy thereof on the signboard at the
Village Hall shall constitute sufficient notice.
