Local Water Supply Plan Template—July 8, 2016 <br /> ❑ Adopt non-zoning wetlands ordinance (can further protect wetlands beyond <br /> state/federal laws-for vernal pools, buffer areas, restrictions on filling or alterations) <br /> ❑ Adopt a water offset program (primarily for new development or expansion) <br /> 0 Implement a water conservation outreach program <br /> ❑ j Hire a water conservation coordinator (part-time) <br /> ❑ Implement a rebate program for water efficient appliances, fixtures, or outdoor water <br /> management <br /> ❑ Other <br /> Objective 8: Tracking Success: How will you track or measure success through the <br /> next ten years? <br /> Tip: The process to monitor demand reduction and/or a rate structure includes: <br /> a) The DNR Hydrologist will call or visit the community the first 1-3 years after the water <br /> supply plan is completed. <br /> b) They will discuss what activities the community is doing to conserve water and if they feel <br /> their actions are successful. The Water Supply Plan, Part 3 tables and responses will guide <br /> the discussion. For example, they will discuss efforts to reduce unaccounted for water loss <br /> if that is a problem, or go through Tables 33, 34 and 35 to discuss new initiatives. <br /> c) The city representative and the hydrologist will discuss total per capita water use, <br /> residential per capita water use, and business/industry use. They will note trends. <br /> d) They will also discuss options for improvement and/or collect case studies of success stories <br /> to share with other communities. One option may be to change the rate structure, but <br /> there are many other paths to successful water conservation. <br /> e) If appropriate, they will cooperatively develop a simple work plan for the next few years, <br /> targeting a couple areas where the city might focus efforts. <br /> A. Regulation <br /> Complete Table 29 by selecting which regulations are used to reduce demand and improve <br /> water efficiencies.
