Local Water Supply Plan Template July 8, 2016 <br /> • Odd/even day watering—This approach reduces peak demand on a daily basis for system operation, but <br /> it does not reduce overall water use. <br /> *** Non-Conserving*** <br /> • Service charge or base fee with water volume:an amount of water larger than the average residential <br /> per capita demand for the water supplier for the last 5 years <br /> • Declining block rate:the rate per unit used decreases as water use increases. <br /> • Flat rate: one fee regardless of how much water is used (usually unmetered). <br /> Provide justification for any conservation neutral or non-conserving rate structures. If intending <br /> to adopt a conservation rate structure, include the timeframe to do so: <br /> Objective 7: Additional strategies to Reduce Water Use and Support Wellhead <br /> Protection Planning <br /> Development and redevelopment projects can provide additional water conservation <br /> opportunities, such as the actions listed below. If a Uniform Rate Structure is in place, the <br /> water supplier must provide a Water Conservation Program that includes at least two of the <br /> actions listed below. Check those actions that you intent to implement within the next 10 years. <br /> Table 28.Additional strategies to Reduce Water Use&Support Wellhead Protection <br /> ❑ Participate in the GreenStep Cities Program, including implementation of at least one of <br /> the 20 "Best Practices" for water <br /> ❑ Prepare a master plan for smart growth (compact urban growth that avoids sprawl) <br /> ❑ Prepare a comprehensive open space plan (areas for parks, green spaces, natural areas) <br /> ❑ Adopt a water use restriction ordinance (lawn irrigation, car washing, pools, etc.) <br /> ❑ Adopt an outdoor lawn irrigation ordinance <br /> ❑ Adopt a private well ordinance (private wells in a city must comply with water <br /> restrictions) <br /> ❑ Implement a stormwater management program <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 /> ❑x Implement a water conservation outreach program <br /> ❑ 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 /> 45 <br />
