Louisville City Council Meeting <br />June 3, 2003 <br />Page 8 of 10 <br /> <br />Sisk stated Council has received emails from citizens inquiring about the drought plan <br />and noted the model was taken from other cities' drought management programs. <br /> <br />Keany asked the Final Draft of the Drought Water Rate Surcharge Plan be modified to <br />reflect no lump sum surcharge on residential accounts. He asked Public Works Director <br />Phare how the rates affect the irrigation water taps in time of drought and at what point <br />are they turned off. Phare stated that would have to be addressed. <br /> <br />Davidson stressed the importance of a drought plan and using it as a guideline. <br /> <br />Phare addressed the Final Draft of Drought Indicators, including a formula for a water <br />supply index for Louisville.
