Water Resources Management Our review of this section addresses issues regarding the impact of the plan on (1) water supply, (2) wastewater and (3) water quality. A review of the plan indicates the following: Water Supply: (Gary Oberts, 602-1079) Chapter 7, Water Management Plan, appears to amend the city's 1995 Water Supply Plan. The Council reviewed and approved the 1995 plan on March 11, 1996. The current draft plan updates much of the information included in the 1995 plan. However, the draft plan includes no reference that this information amends the officially adopted water supply plan. To be consistent with the local water supply plan content requirements, the city plan should: · Describe how the 1998 plan relates to the 1995 water supply plan. · Include specific reference to the emergency response and conservation elements, required by state law. · Describe how the city is implementing its emergency and conservation efforts, as well as how conservation initiatives might reduce the city's high maximum day-to-average-day demand ratio. · Include a status report for the installation of well #6, which does not appear in the plan's well inventory. In June, 1997, the Council approved comments to the Department of Natural Resources on the installation of this well. /~trJ;~ )'-f ~ (tfJ < -[u( [[&I '). i c; / .{ CC 11. 5r t€ I';..f \
