City of Ramsey Local Water Supply Plan <br />including capacity limits or timing constraints (i.e. only 200 gallons per minute are available <br />from the City of Prior Lake, and it is estimated to take 6 hours to establish the emergency <br />connection). If there are no limitations, list none. <br />Well 2 is used to meet seasonal peak demands only. The City has two (2) interconnections with Anoka, one is hard <br />piped and one uses hoses. <br />D. Future Demand Projections - Key Metropolitan Council Benchmark <br />Water Use Trends <br />Use the data in Table 2 to describe trends in 1) population served; 2) total per capita water <br />demand; 3) average daily demand; 4) maximum daily demand. Then explain the causes for <br />upward or downward trends. For example, over the ten years has the average daily demand <br />trended up or down? Why is this occurring? <br />The following trends are observed: <br />1. Population served increased to a peak in 2010, then dipped in 2011 and increased again. See graph below. The <br />overall upward trend is caused by new connections added each year and construction that occurred in the past 10 <br />years. There have been about 60 connections added per year on average over the last 5 years. <br />15,000 <br />14,000 <br />13,000 <br />0 <br />7, 12,000 <br />co <br />Q 11,000 <br />0 <br />10,000 <br />9,000 <br />8,000 <br />2004 <br />Population Served <br />2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 <br />Year <br />2016 <br />2. The total per capita water demand decreased from 170 GPCD in 2005 to 122 GPCD in 2015. Between 2005 and <br />2015, water use peaked at 196 GPCD and 199 GPCD in 2006 and 2007 respectively. The 5 year average from 2011 <br />to 2015 was 131 GPCD. Several measures may have contributed to the overall decrease in total per capita water <br />use, including replacing all residential meters in a 5 year period, implementation and enforcement of a new topsoil <br />ordinance, changing the rate structure and increased enforcement of irrigation restrictions. <br />15 April 7, 2017 <br />
