§ 74-127. Drought/low water supply response plan.

(a)

Upon notification to the town council that a drought stage exists, the town council may pass a resolution or declaration declaring an appropriate drought stage. The town council may declare a drought stage in the absence of a declaration by the Commonwealth of Virginia; however, the town council must declare a drought stage upon the declaration of the drought stage by the Commonwealth of Virginia.

(b)

The town council hereby adopts by reference the current version of the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Drought Response Plan (hereafter the "SVRDRP").

(c)

In the event that the town council determines that the SVRDRP is not appropriate or suitable, town council may adopt its own drought/low water supply response plan, as approved by the Commonwealth of Virginia pursuant to law, by an ordinance adopted by it in lieu of the SVRDRP.
