Local Water Supply Plan Template—July 8, 2016 <br /> Is the ratio of average 2005-2014 maximum day demand to average 2005-2014 average day <br /> demand reported in Table 2 more than 2.6? Yes ❑ No ❑ <br /> Calculate a ten year average (2005 —2014) of the ratio of maximum day demand to average <br /> day demand: 2.74 <br /> The position of the DNR has been that a peak day/average day ratio that is above 2.6 for in <br /> summer indicates that the water being used for irrigation by the residents in a community is <br /> too large and that efforts should be made to reduce the peak day use by the community. <br /> It should be noted that by reducing the peak day use, communities can also reduce the amount <br /> of infrastructure that is required to meet the peak day use. This infrastructure includes new <br /> wells, new water towers which can be costly items. <br /> Objective 6: Implement a Conservation Water Rate Structure and/or a Uniform Rate <br /> Structure with a Water Conservation Program <br /> Water Conservation Program <br /> Municipal water suppliers serving over 1,000 people are required to adopt demand reduction <br /> measures that include a conservation rate structure, or a uniform rate structure with a <br /> conservation program that achieves demand reduction. These measures must achieve demand <br /> reduction in ways that reduce water demand, water losses, peak water demands, and <br /> nonessential water uses. These measures must be approved before a community may request <br /> well construction approval from the Department of Health or before requesting an increase in <br /> water appropriations permit volume (Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.291, subd. 3 and 4). <br /> Rates should be adjusted on a regular basis to ensure that revenue of the system is adequate <br /> under reduced demand scenarios. If a municipal water supplier intends to use a Uniform Rate <br /> Structure, a community-wide Water Conservation Program that will achieve demand reduction <br /> must be provided. <br /> Current Water Rates <br /> Include a copy of the actual rate structure in Appendix 9 or list current water rates including <br /> base/service fees and volume charges below. <br /> Volume included in base rate or service charge: 15,000 gallons or cubic feet_other <br /> Frequency of billing: ❑ Monthly ❑ Bimonthly ❑ Quarterly ❑ Other: <br /> Water Rate Evaluation Frequency: ❑ every year ❑ every_years ❑ no schedule <br /> Date of last rate change: 1/1/2016 <br /> 43 <br /> City of Ramsey December 8, 2016 <br />
