In the event that the South Florida Water Management District or other authority having
jurisdiction declares a water shortage requiring mandatory water use restrictions
or curtailment, the water, wastewater, and reclaimed water gallonage rates set forth
in the appendix to this chapter will be increased by a surcharge as appropriate equal
to the percentage amount of the restriction and as recommended by the city utility
department director as to the revenue required to comply with debt service covenants
or to meet other requirements of the water, wastewater, and reclaimed water systems.
The application of mandatory water restriction surcharge will require city council
approval prior to becoming effective and implemented.
