Utilities Director would recommend use of those sources which can feasibly be
connected with, and used by, the city water system.

projects (exemption from needing a water allocation), at least until the
results of the pending groundwater yield study are available.

moratorium on well drilling within the city, pending the results of the
groundwater yield study, or if well drilling is to be allowed, restricting it
to locations and uses which will not deplete public groundwater supplies.

regarding their issuance of permits adjacent to the City.
