Drought Contingency Plan

MUD 186 understands the importance of water and how it is essential to our daily lives, environmental resources, and economic activity. With the possibility of drought, high use of water or the inability to supply water, the District recognized that it must develop a plan for temporarily adjusting the supply and demand of water. On April 19, 2005, the District adopted the Drought Contingency Plan (the Plan). The Plan was approved so that the District may conserve its available water supply and protect the integrity of water supply facilities, with particular regard for domestic water use, sanitation, and fire protection and to protect and preserve public health, welfare and safety as well as minimize the adverse impact of water supply shortage or other water supply emergency conditions. The District established this Plan in advance of actual conditions so that it is prepared to minimize the adverse impacts.

The provisions of the Plan apply to all persons, customers, and property utilizing water provided by MUD 186. The District adopted the “Trigger Conditions” which are for the purpose of responding to, but not limited to,

Reduction of available water supply to a repeat of the drought of record
Water production or distribution system limitations
Supply source contamination or
Water system outage due to the failure or damage of water system components

Should one of the above conditions occur, users will be notified that a Trigger Condition has occurred along with the response measure that will be implemented.

Water uses regulated or prohibited under this Plan are considered to be non-essential and continuation of uses during times of water shortage or other emergency water supply conditions are deemed to constitute a waste of water which will subject the offender to penalties defined in the Plan
