Current Policies Affecting Water Use

Rules and Reaulations

In October 2005, the ELCO Board of Directors adopted revised Rules and Regulations
governing the District. The District's authority to impose water use restrictions during a
declared drought is established in Article 6 of the revised Rules and Regulations. There
were a number of reason the District revised its Rules and Regulations in 2005. One
primary reason was the perceived lack of authority to impose outdoor watering
restrictions during the drought years of 2002 and 2003. Table 3.4 lists the provisions of
Article 6.
