Option 2 : Only assumption 1 implicit.

As there is a water crisis in the city, it is a sensible step to reduce water consumption, hence, assumption 1 is implicit.

Assumption 2 is not implicit as there is no information given in the argument indicating that activists would be unhappy with this advisory.

Hence, only assumption 1 is implicit.
