t Metropolitan Council Local Planning Handbook 1 Section 5 Water Resources Management <br />Process for <br />municipalities >1,000 <br />residents <br />Process for <br />municipalities <1,000 <br />residents <br />Every municipality with a public water supply must complete a water <br />supply plan. Information to be included in this plan is specified by <br />Minnesota statute. <br />The Water Resources Management Policy Plan identifies the sources, <br />level of demand and potential limits of the region's water supply. It <br />then describes policies and strategies to protect this valuable <br />resource. <br />The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) notifies communities <br />serving more than 1,000 residents regarding the submittal date of <br />their water supply plan. The plan is then submitted to both the DNR <br />and the Metropolitan Council. If the water supply plan was <br />completed before the full comprehensive plan update, the <br />comprehensive plan update needs to include only a summary <br />of changes made since the water supply plan was submitted <br />to the DNR and Metropolitan Council. <br />Municipalities serving fewer than 1,000 residents submit their water <br />supply plans to the Metropolitan Council as a part of the <br />comprehensive plan amendment or update. <br />Minn.
