This requirement, in <br />place since the 1990s, is designed to encourage communities to deal proactively with providing <br />sustainable water supply for citizens, businesses and industry. For Metropolitan Area communities, a <br />water supply plan is a required element of their Community Local Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />The DNR provides a Water Supply Plan template. Electronic copies of the template along with other <br />materials for developing your plan are available at the DNR web site: <br />www.mndnr.gov/watersupplyplans <br /> <br />NEW <br /> Plans will now be submitted electronically through the Minnesota Permitting and Reporting <br />System (MPARS) where most water use reporting takes place. <br /> The plan includes stronger conservation measures to meet demand reduction requirements. <br /> When you submit your water supply plan to MPARS it will be forwarded to Metropolitan <br />Council. <br /> There will be workshops with neighboring water suppliers to discuss local water supply issues <br />and water conservation strategies. In 2015, 14 workshops will be held around the state between <br />Oct 14 and Nov. 5th. Similar workshops will be held in the following two years. <br /> Watch for a separate invitation to these Water Supply Plan Workshops from your DNR <br />hydrologists. <br /> <br />Plans can be submitted for approval prior to the due date. Please contact the DNR Area Hydrologist <br />(see attached list) if you have questions or concerns regarding the due date for your plan. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Carmelita Nelson at 651/259-5034 or your <br />Area Hydrologist. Contact Lanya Ross, 651-602-1803 if you have questions about the Metropolitan <br />Council's requirements. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Julie Ekman, <br />Section Manager
