Local Water Supply Plan Template—July 8, 2016 <br /> Objective Triggers Actions <br /> Short-term demand reduction ❑ Extremely high seasonal ❑ Adopt(if not already)and enforce the <br /> (less than 1 year water demand (more than critical water deficiency ordinance to <br /> double winter demand) restrict or prohibit lawn watering, <br /> ❑ Loss of treatment capacity vehicle washing,golf course and park <br /> ❑ Lack of water in storage irrigation &other nonessential uses. <br /> ❑ State drought plan ❑ Supply augmentation through <br /> ❑ Well interference ❑ Water allocation through <br /> ❑ Other: ❑ Meet with large water users to discuss <br /> user's contingency plan. <br /> Long-term demand reduction ❑ Per capita demand ❑ Develop a critical water deficiency <br /> (>1 year) increasing ordinance that is or can be quickly <br /> ❑ Total demand increase adopted to penalize lawn watering, <br /> (higher population or more vehicle washing,golf course and park <br /> industry)Water level in irrigation &other nonessential uses. <br /> well(s) below elevation of ❑ Enact a water waste ordinance that <br /> targets overwatering(causing water to <br /> ❑ Other: flow off the landscape into streets, <br /> parking lots, or similar), watering <br /> impervious surfaces(streets, driveways <br /> or other hardscape areas), and <br /> negligence of known leaks, breaks, or <br /> malfunctions. <br /> ❑ Meet with large water users to discuss <br /> user's contingency plan. <br /> ❑ Enhanced monitoring and reporting: <br /> audits, meters, billing, etc. <br /> Governor's"Critical Water ❑ Describe ❑ Describe <br /> Deficiency Order"declared <br /> B. Conservation Objectives and Strategies - Key benchmark for DNR <br /> This section establishes water conservation objectives and strategies for eight major areas of <br /> water use. <br /> Objective 1: Reduce Unaccounted (Non-Revenue) Water loss to Less than 10% <br /> The Minnesota Rural Waters Association, the Metropolitan Council and the Department of <br /> Natural Resources recommend that all water uses be metered. Metering can help identify high <br /> use locations and times, along with leaks within buildings that have multiple meters. <br /> It is difficult to quantify specific unmetered water use such as that associated with firefighting <br /> and system flushing or system leaks. Typically, water suppliers subtract metered water use <br /> from total water pumped to calculate unaccounted or non-revenue water loss. <br /> Is your five-year average (2005-2014) unaccounted Water Use in Table 2 higher than 10%? <br /> Yes ❑ No ❑ <br /> 38 <br />
