WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) has advised the Cucamonga
Valley Water District that emergency maintenance reports are immediately required on the

the shut down will take place from approximately June 7 to June 14, 2004; and

its water supply from the Rialto pipeline, and the closure of the pipeline will critically reduce
water supplies for all but essential water use for public safety and public health in the District;
and
WHEREAS, the Cucamonga Valley Water District has declared a water shortage
emergency and implemented water conservation measures to (1) protect the health, safety, and
welfare of the District, (2) assure the maximum beneficial use of the water supplies of the
District, and (3) assure there will be sufficient water supplies to meet the basic needs of human
consumption, sanitation, and fire protection; and
WHEREAS, in order to ensure that there are adequate water supplies to meet
the needs of human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection, the District is requiring that all
customers refrain from using water for non-essential indoor and all outdoor uses, and to
implement conservation measures for essential uses; and
WHEREAS, all customers within Cucamonga Valley Water District's service area
have been given notice of the severity of the situation and have been asked to voluntarily
comply. Customers have also bee notified that any non-essential use of water during this time
