  (a)    Whenever the water supply becomes inadequate in any area in the
      county of Maui because of a period of drought, the board shall issue a
      proclamation declaring a drought to exist in such area.

      the period of the drought.
  (b)    Water conservation measures during a period of drought.  Whenever

      Maui, the director, with the approval of the board, is authorized to
      restrict the use of water by such appropriate schedules and measures
      as he may deem proper.
         The schedules shall restrict the use of water by any particular user
      during certain hours or days of the week and within certain amounts in
      accordance with a schedule published in a newspaper or otherwise made
      known to the user by the director with the approval of the board.
         The director, with the approval of the board, may prohibit the use
      of water for irrigation, lawns, construction, subdivision, or other
      types of activity involving the use of water.  The director, with the
      approval of the board, may also prohibit the installation of any new
      meter or new service.
         Mail may be used to inform users of such schedules and measurers
      established by the director and approved by the board.
