Local Water Supply Plan Template July 8, 2016 <br /> Strategy to reduce total business, industry,agricultural demand Timeframe for completing work <br /> ❑ Investigate the reuse of reclaimed water(e.g.,stormwater, <br /> wastewater effluent, process wastewater, etc.) <br /> ❑ Reduce outdoor water use(e.g.,turf replacement/reduction, <br /> rain gardens, rain barrels,smart irrigation,outdoor water use <br /> meters,etc.) <br /> ❑ Train employees how to conserve water <br /> ❑ Implement a notification system to inform non-residential <br /> customers when water availability conditions change. <br /> ❑ Rainwater catchment systems intended to supply uses such as <br /> water closets, urinals,trap primers for floor drains and floor <br /> sinks,industrial processes,water features,vehicle washing <br /> facilities,cooling tower makeup,and similar uses shall be <br /> approved by the commissioner. Proposed plumbing code <br /> 4714.1702.1 http://www.dli.mn.gov/PDF/docket/4714rule.pdf <br /> ❑ Describe other plans: <br /> Objective 4:Achieve a Decreasing Trend in Total Per Capita Demand <br /> Include as Appendix 8 one graph showing total per capita water demand for each customer <br /> category (i.e., residential, institutional, commercial, industrial) from 2005-2014 and add the <br /> calculated/estimated linear trend for the next 10 years. <br /> Describe the trend for each customer category; explain the reason(s) for the trends, and where <br /> trends are increasing. <br /> Objective 5: Reduce Peak Day Demand so that the Ratio of Average Maximum day to <br /> the Average Day is less than 2.6 <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: <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 /> 42 <br />
