The governing authority is otherwise satisfied that a water emergency exists in the Village of Ridgefield Park.
Any other water use restriction specified by the governing body in the resolution required by § 381-1 of this chapter which is reasonable under the circumstances considering the nature and extent of the water emergency. Any water restriction imposed pursuant to this subsection shall be limited in application to that portion of the Village of Ridgefield Park, which may include the entire Village of Ridgefield Park, identified as being affected by the water emergency in the resolution of the governing body adopted in accordance with § 381-1 of this chapter.
The resolution of the governing body required by § 381-1 of this chapter shall, in addition to complying with § 381-1, provide a period of time during which the water use restrictions imposed shall be applicable and which shall be no longer than reasonably necessary to abate the water emergency under the circumstances considering the nature and extent of the water emergency. At the expiration of the time period specified in the resolution, the water use restriction shall lapse and be inapplicable and unenforceable. If the governing body shall be satisfied that the water emergency has been abated prior to the expiration of the time period specified in the resolution, it shall adopt a resolution declaring the water emergency ended and the water use restrictions inapplicable. If, at the expiration of the time period specified in the resolution, the governing body shall be satisfied that the water emergency continues to exist, it may adopt a resolution in accordance with the requirements of this chapter continuing the water use restrictions.
The water use restrictions imposed pursuant to this chapter shall be enforced during a water emergency by the local authorized official. Whenever a local authorized official shall find a violation of the water use restrictions, such authorized official shall give the violator a written warning and explain the penalties for a second and third offense as provided by § 381-5 of this chapter. The local authorized official shall keep such records as may be reasonable and necessary for the purpose of determining the persons and businesses who have been warned upon a first offense. The local authorized official is hereby empowered to write summonses for the violation of the water use restrictions imposed pursuant to this chapter.
After a first offense in accordance with § 381-4 of this chapter, any person or business who thereafter violates the water use restrictions imposed pursuant to this chapter shall be fined or imprisoned in accordance with Chapter 1, General Provisions, Article II, General Penalty.
