which is adequate to meet long-range seasonal requiremertts for domestic,

municipal, agricultural, power, recreational, navigable, fish and wildlife, and

quality-control purposes.

In order to conserve public water supplies during periods of critical

water deficiency, public water supply authorities appropriating water ahall

adopt and enforce restrictions consistent with rules adopted by the

commissioner of natural resources within their areas of jurisdiction to

restrict lawn sprinkling, car washing, golf course and park irrigation, and

other nonessential uses, together with appropriate penalties for failure to

comply with the restrictions.

The establishment of rural water supply systems is neither encouraged nor

discouraged by the State.

Domestic water supply, excluding industrial and commercial uses of

municipal supply, is the first priority for appropriation and use of water.

Uses other than domestic, agricultural irrigation, and power, consuming in

excess of 10,000 gallons per day, are fifth priority.

of finished water, review plans for the construction of water supply
facilities, and inspect water aupply systems to maintain the purity of drinking
water, are all items to improve Missouri's water supply.
MONTANA
A State objective is to solve reasonable municipal, industrial, and rural

domestic water supply demands and to ensure that Montana's water quality

standards are met. Small communities should be made aware of potential sources

of funds that can be used to secure desirable water supplies.
