§ 14.90.050. Exceptions and application procedures for exceptions.

Any classification of water customer, residential or otherwise, may make written application for an exception to the regulations and prohibitions described in this section. Said application shall be made under penalty of perjury and shall describe in detail why applicant believes an exception is justified.

A.

The city manager or his/her designee may grant exceptions for use of water otherwise prohibited by this section upon finding and determining that failure to do so would cause an emergency condition affecting the health, sanitation, fire protection or safety of the applicant or public; or cause an unnecessary and undue hardship on applicant or the public, including, but not limited to, adverse economic impacts, such as loss of production or jobs.

B.

The decision of the city manager or his/her designee may be appealed to the city council by submitting a written appeal to the city clerk within seven calendar days of the date of the decision. Upon granting any appeal the city council may impose any conditions determined to be just and proper. Exceptions granted shall be prepared in writing and filed with the city clerk.
