The following article relating to measures to ameliorate water shortages
is herewith adopted by the Town of Colchester.
The Colchester Utilities Commission is herewith authorized to adopt
regulations pertaining to the conservation of water and to further provide
in said regulations measures to address potential water shortages.
The regulations so adopted shall be communicated to water users by way
of mail or publication.
Regulations previously adopted by the Colchester Board of Water Commissioners
relating to water conservation shall be deemed adopted by the Colchester Utilities
Commission, and copies of said regulations previously distributed to water
users shall excuse distribution except to new water customers.
Should the Colchester Utilities Commission determine that a water user
and/or customer is in violation of the regulations, the Commission shall give
written notice of said violation to the user and/or customer, which notice
shall direct the user and/or customer to cease and desist from said violation.
Said written notice shall be mailed and/or hand delivered to the residence
of the user and/or customer.
In the event said customer and/or user fails to cease and desist from
said violation, the Board may, upon 12 hours prior notice terminate, either
permanently or temporarily, all water service to said user and/or customer.
Any user and/or customer who violates a cease and desist order, shall,
in addition to being subjected to termination of water service, also be subject
to a penalty of $100 per day for each violation.
The Colchester Utilities Commission may delegate the enforcement of
this article to an employee of said Commission.
