The City Manager, or his authorized designee(s), will provide a <br />weekly report to news media with information regarding current <br />water supply and /or demand conditions, projected water supply <br />and demand conditions if drought conditions persist, and <br />consumer information on water conservation measures and <br />practices. <br />(d) Stage 3 - Severe Water Shortage Conditions <br />(1) Target: Achieve a fifteen percent (15 %) reduction in daily water <br />demand. <br />(2) Best Management Practices for Supply Management: <br />Measures to be implemented by the City of Paris, to manage limited <br />water supplies and reduce water demand will include reduced or <br />discontinued flushing of water mains, use of reclaimed water for non - <br />potable purposes, and stringent operation of the Water Treatment <br />Plant concerning filter backwashing.
