100 <br />conservation savings. The project will fill an existing knowledge gap in water conservation data in the <br />metropolitan area. Data gained from this project will be used in water supply planning projections for <br />the metropolitan area. Private industrial water users will receive site-specific water conservation <br />recommendations. Website <br />Metropolitan Council. 2013b. Groundwater Digest. Metropolitan Council: Saint Paul, <br />MN. <br />This digest explains how groundwater "works" and why it is important to the region. Website <br />Metropolitan Council. 2014a. Assessing the Opportunity and Barriers for Water <br />Conservation by Private Industrial Water Users. Prepared by Minnesota Technical <br />Assistance Program (MnTAP). Metropolitan Council: Saint Paul, MN. <br />This project supported the intent of the Metropolitan Council to better understand the industrial water <br />use needs of private well water users in an eleven county area including Anoka, Carver, Chisago, <br />Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Washington, and Wright counties. Through this <br />project, the Metropolitan Council and MnTAP worked to identify opportunities for industrial water <br />conservation as well as factors that motivated implementation of operational changes to capture <br />water conservation savings. The project helped to fill an existing knowledge gap in water conservation <br />data in the metropolitan area. Data gained from this project will be used in water supply planning <br />projections for the metropolitan area. Private industrial water users received site-specific water <br />conservation recommendations and will continue to be followed up with through at least 2015 to see if <br />additional assistance is useful. Website <br />Metropolitan Council. 2014b. Feasibility Assessment of Approaches to Water <br />Sustainability in the Northeast Metro. Prepared by Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. <br />Metropolitan Council: Saint Paul. <br />The Metropolitan Council retained Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) to complete this technical <br />assessment of the capital and operational costs, as well as the potential benefits, of alternative <br />approaches to water supply in the northeast metro area. The report also looks specifically at the direct <br />augmentation of White Bear Lake with water from the major rivers in the region. This study has been <br />carried out with input from and engagement with local stakeholders, including community public <br />water utilities, through a water supply work group. This group continues to meet regularly to discuss <br />the study along with other water supply topics of importance to group members. <br />Metropolitan Council. 2014c. October 1, 2014 Memo to Twin Cities Metropolitan Area <br />Water Suppliers: Water Demand Projection Method and Preliminary Results. <br />This memorandum provides a summary of the methods used to project water demand for the public <br />water supply systems in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. This work is being done in support of the <br />regional Master Water Supply Plan update that is currently in progress. Presented are the data <br />sources used, assumptions made, and exceptional cases and how they were addressed. <br />Metropolitan Council. 2014d. Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Regional Groundwater Flow <br />Model, Version 3.0. Prepared by Barr Engineering. Metropolitan Council: Saint Paul, MN. <br />This report summarizes the result of work to update the regional groundwater flow model, which <br />meets the requirements of Minn. Stat., Sec. 473.1565 calling for the Council to engage in planning <br />activities which must include "development and maintenance of a base of technical information <br />needed for sound water supply decisions including surface and groundwater availability analyses, <br />water demand projections, water withdrawal and use impact analyses, modeling, and similar studies". <br />WATER SUPPLY MASTER <br />PLAN- Draft June 2015 <br />
