City of Ramsey Local Water Supply Plan <br />4. The maximum daily demand decreased from 2006 to 2010, then increased until 2012 then decreased again to <br />2015. The decreasing trend is due to higher efficiency appliances, sprinkling bans and other conservation measures. <br />The city had a flat fee residential rate structure in 2005. This was changed to a 7 tier sliding rate structure in 2006, <br />with the rate increasing when each level. The City also has an escalating series of fines and penalties including water <br />shutoff for those who consistently violate the odd -even sprinkling ban. The overall increase can be attributed to <br />adding new customers as noted above. The spike in maximum daily demand in 2012 corresponds to two extremely <br />dry months, August and September. These months saw less than one inch of precipitation in each month while the <br />average is over 3.5 inches per month. The month of May saw 3 times the normal precipitation; however, eight (8) <br />of the months were drier than normal. The year ended with close to normal precipitation. <br />Use the water use trend information discussed above to complete Table 7 with projected <br />annual demand for the next ten years. Communities in the seven -county Twin Cities <br />metropolitan area must also include projections for 2030 and 2040 as part of their local <br />comprehensive planning. <br />Projected demand should be consistent with trends evident in the historical data in Table 2, as <br />discussed above. Projected demand should also reflect state demographer population <br />projections and/or other planning projections. <br />Table 7.
