Muckle, Mayor of <br />the City of Louisville, hereby issue this Executive Order rescinding certain mandatory watering <br />restrictions and requesting users of the City of Louisville water supply system to voluntarily <br />follow watering best practices. <br />Need and Purpose <br />Information indicates that the Colorado Front Range has received significant levels of <br />moisture during the month of April 2013 and as a consequence snow pack levels are higher than <br />previously projected and customer demands for water are lower.

This Executive Order is intended <br />to conserve water by maintaining restrictions on mid -day watering and requesting voluntary <br />outdoor watering best practices. This Executive Order will encourage reduced outdoor water use <br />and assist the City in reserving adequate water for the coming months. <br />Order <br />Pursuant to Louisville Municipal Code Section 13.08.060, all users of the City of <br />Louisville water supply system are hereby subject to the following conditions, effective at <br />MIDNIGHT on May 7, 2013: <br />1. Responsible Party. As used in this chapter, "customer" means the owner or occupant of <br />the licensed premises. <br />2. Rescinding Mandatory Irrigation Watering Restrictions. All mandatory watering <br />restrictions imposed by previous Executive Order dated April 2, 2013, are hereby <br />rescinded by this Executive Order except as noted in item 3 below. <br />3. Continuing Mandatory Restrictions. All customers shall conduct all watering without <br />any water waste, as defined in Louisville Municipal Code Section 13.08.120. <br />Additionally, watering is prohibited between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., <br />except when limited watering is essential to preserve turf subject to heavy public use. <br />1 <br />
