threatened shortage of water
available to the city of Newport

WHEREAS, a major source of
supply of such water is from the
Metropolitan Water District and
an inadequate supply of such
water for use by the city of New-
port Beach and its residents and
others using said water with the
consent of said city appears to
be imminent by reason of de-
mands on such water from cities
and other communities lying
northerly of the city limits of
said city of Newport Beach; and

necessary that emergency powers
be granted to the city manager
of said city in the event of a
finding by him that an emer-
gency exists in connection with
the water supply of said city;

council of the city of Newport

that he deems for the benefit
and best interest of said city
and of the persons, firms or cor-
porations using city water:

that no water user shall use any
water of the city to the extent
that any of such water shall
leave or run off the immediate
property on which said water is
being used;
(b) To proclaim and order
that the water used by contrac-
ting persons located outside of
the city limits of the city of New.
port Beach be restricted to the
extent necessary in the judg-
ment of said city manager; and
(c) To make such other proc-
lamations and orders as shall,
in his judgment, be deemed
necessary to maintain sufficient
water for domestic use by resi-
dential water users within the
city of Newport Beach.
2. In the event of such emer-
gency, said city manager shall
declare such emergency to exist
in writing and shall file same
with the city clerk of said city.
3. That the times when the
orders, rules and regulations
made and promulgated pursuant
to this ordinance shall be in ef-
fect, they shall supersede all
existing ordinances, orders, rules
and regulations insofar as the
latter may be inconsistent there-
with.
4. Such rules, orders and reg-
ulations and restrictions promul-
gated by said city manager shall
