Council orders signs and outreach to short-term rental owners after water emergency
Summary
Following the proclamation, council asked staff to distribute conservation signage to short-term rental operators, send bulk email notices, post to the Village Voice and place a notice on the village electronic sign; staff also discussed a possible podcast explanation.
After approving the Level 2 water emergency proclamation, council members focused on public outreach aimed at short-term rental operators and visitors.
A council member asked whether signage required of short-term rentals should mirror the Level 2 rules; staff agreed and committed to creating a sign, emailing property managers and including the message in the Village Voice. Staff said the electronic sign will be updated immediately after the proclamation and offered to arrange a short podcast segment to explain the restrictions.
Council members emphasized that communications should lead with the reassurance that "we do have water" for homes and fire protection while explaining what actions visitors and property managers should avoid, such as irrigation and washing vehicles. Staff said property owners will be the primary compliance contact and that the village has citation authority for violations under Level 2.
