A <br />2014 survey of public water suppliers identified only two - Minneapolis Water Works and Saint Paul <br />Regional Water Services - that averaged more than 60 million gallons per day from 1988 to 2012. <br />About half of the region's public water suppliers (52%) averaged less than one million gallons per day <br />(Metropolitan Council, 2015d). The three maps in Figure 8 illustrate the relative volumes of water <br />provided by public water suppliers for residential (blue), industrial (green) and commercial (purple) <br />uses in metro area communities. Over the period 1993-2012, the average residential water use was <br />about 63% of total water sales, commercial was about 25%, and industrial was about 2%. Municipal <br />water use in all three categories is highest in the urban core and generally diminishes outward from <br />Minneapolis and Saint Paul. High water use, particularly residential, can be seen along major <br />transportation corridors like Interstate Highways 94 and 35. <br />WATER SUPPLY MASTER <br />PLAN- Draft June 2015 <br />
