Construction of nonessential water-using facilities which are attached to the water system, including but not limited to underground sprinkler systems, swimming pools, and certain types of air-conditioning, refrigeration and heating units, are required to obtain a permit from the Department.
Permits for uses of water considered nonessential will only be granted where the applicant has demonstrated to the Department that sufficient capacity in the supply, storage, and distribution facilities is available and that proper backflow measures have been taken.
In periods of drought or emergency, the Town shall have the right to restrict nonessential uses of water such as the use of water for sprinkling, pools or other outside nonessential use or to prohibit such use entirely. The Town shall publish notice of such restriction in the official Town newspaper and on the Town website. Notification shall also be provided when the restrictions are lifted.
