City of Ramsey Local Water Supply Plan <br />5. All other water use involving consumption of more than 10,000 gallons per day. <br />6. Nonessential uses — car washes, golf courses, etc. <br />Water used for human needs at hospitals, nursing homes and similar types of facilities should <br />be designated as a high priority to be maintained in an emergency. Lower priority uses will <br />need to address water used for human needs at other types of facilities such as hotels, office <br />buildings, and manufacturing plants. The volume of water and other types of water uses at <br />these facilities must be carefully considered. After reviewing the data, common sense should <br />dictate local allocation priorities to protect domestic requirements over certain types of <br />economic needs. Water use for lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf courses, and recreation <br />are legislatively considered non -essential. <br />Table 18. Water use priorities <br />Customer Category <br />Allocation Priority Average Daily Demand <br />(GDP) <br />Short -Term Emergency <br />Demand Reduction <br />Potential (GPD) <br />Residential 1 1,542,000 1,370,000 <br />Institutional 2 14,600 10,000 <br />Commercial 3 163,400 15,000 <br />Industrial 4 <br />Irrigation 5 <br />Wholesale N/A <br />Non -Essential 6 <br />TOTAL 1,720,000 1,395,000 <br />GPD — Gallons per Day <br />Tip: Calculating Emergency Demand Reduction Potential <br />The emergency demand reduction potential for all uses will typically equal the difference <br />between maximum use (summer demand) and base use (winter demand). In extreme <br />emergency situations, lower priority water uses must be restricted or eliminated to protect <br />priority domestic water requirements. Emergency demand reduction potential should be based <br />on average day demands for customer categories within each priority class. Use the tables in <br />Part 3 on water conservation to help you determine strategies. <br />Complete Table 19 by selecting the triggers and actions during water supply disruption <br />conditions. <br />32 April 7, 2017 <br />
