Will any commune in Gard be under a prefectural order banning non‑priority water uses?

🤖 Context

The market resolves yes if, on or before 22 August 2026, the Gard prefecture published a prefectural arrêté covering any commune that explicitly prohibits non‑priority water uses, or if Propluvia shows any part of Gard at a restriction level whose official text forbids such uses, or if two or more independent authoritative news outlets report such an arrêté. Official records show VigiEau lists a Gard arrêté effective 21 August 2026 at the “crise” level, and the prefecture’s website on 22/08/2026 together with Nîmes Métropole describe reinforced measures saying that at “crise” only priority uses remain and that watering, car washing and pool filling are forbidden or restricted. Because an official arrêté covering parts of Gard was in force by 21 August 2026 and its text forbids non‑priority uses, the condition is met and the market resolves yes.
