A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS
REQUESTING VOLUNTARY WATER CONSERVATION PRACTICES
AND COMMENDING THE CITIZENS OF LOS GATOS
WHEREAS, the 1993 water supply available to Santa Clara County markedly
exceeds that of the previous six years of drought; and
WHEREAS, since 1989 the citizens of Santa Clara County have responded admirably
to the mandatory water conservation programs requested and implemented by the Santa
Clara Valley Water District; and
WHEREAS, with continued good conservation practices, implementation of ultra low
flush toilet rebate and other plumbing retrofit programs, further development and
refinement of the water efficient landscaping ordinances, landscape guidelines, reclamation
projects, and other best management practices, 1993 countywide conservation efforts are
anticipated to result in a 10 percent to 20 percent reduction in water usage as compared
to 1987 usage; therefore
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Council hereby requests its water users to
practice voluntary efficient water use and to continue to avoid water waste during 1993 and
the foreseeable future and commends the citizens of Los Gatos for their efforts during the
past six years to reduce water use; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that to minimize water waste, the Town Council
adopts the attached permanent potable water use restrictions.
