Local Water Supply Plan Template –July 8, 2016 <br /> <br />30 <br /> <br /> Objective Triggers Actions <br />Short-term demand reduction <br />(less than 1 year <br />☒ Extremely high seasonal <br />water demand (more than <br />double winter demand) <br />☐ Loss of treatment capacity <br />☒ Lack of water in storage <br />☒ State drought plan <br />☐ Well interference <br />☐ Other: <br /> _____________ <br />☒ Adopt (if not already) and enforce the <br />critical water deficiency ordinance to <br />restrict or prohibit lawn watering, <br />vehicle washing, golf course and park <br />irrigation & other nonessential uses. <br />☒ Supply augmentation through <br />emergency interconnections <br />☒ Water allocation through emergency <br />interconnections <br />☐ Meet with large water users to discuss <br />user’s contingency plan. <br />Long-term demand reduction <br />(>1 year) <br />☒ Per capita demand <br />increasing <br />☐ Total demand increase <br />(higher population or more <br />industry) Water level in <br />well(s) below elevation of <br />_____ <br />☒ Other: Declared emergency <br />☒ Develop a critical water deficiency <br />ordinance that is or can be quickly <br />adopted to penalize lawn watering, <br />vehicle washing, golf course and park <br />irrigation & other nonessential uses. <br />☒ Enact a water waste ordinance that <br />targets overwatering (causing water to <br />flow off the landscape into streets, <br />parking lots, or similar), watering <br />impervious surfaces (streets, driveways <br />or other hardscape areas), and <br />negligence of known leaks, breaks, or <br />malfunctions. <br />☐ Meet with large water users to discuss <br />user’s contingency plan. <br />☒ Enhanced monitoring and reporting: <br />audits, meters, billing, etc. <br />Governor’s “Critical Water <br />Deficiency Order” declared <br />☒ Governor declaration as <br />needed <br />☒ Take action as directed by the governor <br />B. Conservation Objectives and Strategies – Key benchmark for DNR <br />This section establishes water conservation objectives and strategies for eight major areas of water use. <br />Objective 1: Reduce Unaccounted (Non-Revenue) Water loss to Less than 10% <br />The Minnesota Rural Waters Association, the Metropolitan Council and the Department of Natural <br />Resources recommend that all water uses be metered. Metering can help identify high use locations <br />and times, along with leaks within buildings that have multiple meters. <br />It is difficult to quantify specific unmetered water use such as that associated with firefighting and <br />system flushing or system leaks. Typically, water suppliers subtract metered water use from total water <br />pumped to calculate unaccounted or non-revenue water loss. <br />Is your five-year average (2005-2014) unaccounted Water Use in Table 2 higher than 10%? <br />Yes ☒ No ☐ <br />Dr <br />a <br />f <br />t <br /> <br />11 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />1 <br />7
