§ 2-350. Issuance of administrative order by County Manager prohibiting execution of new water contract commitments.

Whenever it shall be made to appear to the County Manager that it is in the public interest and necessary to the public health, safety and welfare to make a comprehensive determination as to whether existing water resources are adequate and sufficient to meet the needs of the County or any portion thereof, and it is further made to appear to the County Manager that the existing allocation or supply of water resources jeopardizes present and future use of same to the detriment of the residents of the County or any part thereof should the present allocations and contractual commitments be continued, then the County Manager shall immediately issue his administrative order to the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Authority and/or any private or public utility within Miami-Dade County prohibiting the execution of new water contract commitments that represent new requests for gallonage allotments not filed with the Authority or the utility prior to the date of the administrative order.
