Drought Contingency Plan-LPAWA 2009.doc <br /> E. INF ORMATION/EDUCATION <br /> �r As a component of the Information/Education section in the Water Conservation Plan, the purpose <br /> and effect of the Drought Contingency Plan will be communicated to the public through articles in the <br /> Bayshore Sun,supplemented by pamphlets distributed at the same time. <br /> When trigger conditions appear to be approaching,the public will be notified through publication of <br /> articles in the Bayshore Sun,with information on water conserving methods. <br /> When trigger conditions have passed, the Bayshore Sun will publish notification that drought <br /> contingency measures are abated for that condition, and if applicable,will outline measures necessary <br /> for the reduced condition. Throughout the period of a trigger condition,regular articles will appear to <br /> explain and educate the public on the purpose, cause, and methods of conservation for that condition. <br /> F. RVIPLEMENTATION/ENFORCMENT <br /> The plan has been implemented by Ordinance of the City Council of the cities of La Porte,Morgan's <br /> Point, and Shoreacres. Included in the adoption instrument will be individual trigger conditions for <br /> each entity. Each entity will provide certified copies of the adoption vehicle,to be found in Appendix <br /> B. <br /> It will be the responsibility of the La Porte Area Water Authority General Manager to monitor, <br /> P ty t3' g <br /> through the various utility departments,the status of the water supply and distribution systems. When <br /> a trigger condition is reached, the General Manager will notify each entity through its Chief <br /> Executive Officer,to begin implementation of the Drought Contingency Plan. <br /> The General Manager will continue to monitor the water emergency until it is determined that the <br /> trigger condition no longer exists. When this takes place,the General Manager will notify each entity <br /> of such, and the Drought Condition Abatement procedures will be implemented. <br /> G. UPDATE OF TRIGGER CONDITIONS <br /> Once a year, the Authority will examine the production requirements and ability to maintain these <br /> requirements to determine if trigger conditions need to be reestablished. Consideration should be <br /> given to each entity's usage in relation to the aggregate usage, and any anticipated increase in <br /> production at the Southeast Water Purification Plant. <br /> Page 5 of 5 <br />
