The objective of a plan is to balance the daily demands placed upon a public water supply agency with the requirement to maintain a sufficient water supply to meet the long term needs that may be placed upon the public water supply agency during a period of water shortage or drought emergency. In particular, the water conservation measures of a plan are intended to:

1. (1) Avoid the depletion of a water supply to ensure that adequate water supplies are available to protect the health and safety of all water customers.
2. (2) Provide for the equitable distribution of water during the emergency.
