Local Water Supply Plan Template —March 2016 <br />❑ Implement a notification system to inform non- <br />residential customers when water availability conditions <br />change. <br />❑ [Rainwater catchment systems intended to supply uses <br />such as water closets, urinals, trap primers for floor <br />drains and floor sinks, industrial processes, water <br />features, vehicle washing facilities, cooling tower <br />makeup, and similar uses shall be approved by the <br />commissioner. Proposed plumbing code 4714.1702.1 <br />http://www.dii.mn.gov/PDF/docket/4714rule.j?df <br />❑ Describe other plans: <br />Objective 4: Achieve a Decreasing Trend in Total Per Capita Demand <br />Include as Appendix 8 one graph showing total per capita water demand for each customer category <br />(i.e., residential, institutional, commercial, industrial) from 2005-2014 and add the calculated/estimated <br />linear trend for the next 10 years. <br />Describe the trend for each customer category; and where trends <br />are increasing. <br />Objective 5: Reduce Peak Day Demand so that the Ratio of Average Maximum day to the <br />Average Day is less than 2.6 <br />❑ Yes ❑ No <br />Calculate a ten year average (2005 — 2014) of the ratio of maximum day demand to average day <br />demand: <br />The position of the DNR has been that a peak day/average day ratio that is above 2.6 for in summer <br />indicates that the water being used for irrigation by the residents in a community is too large and that <br />efforts should be made to reduce the peak day use by the community. <br />It should be noted that by reducing the peak day use, communities can also reduce the amount of <br />infrastructure that is required to meet the peak day use. This infrastructure includes new wells, new <br />water towers which can be costly items. <br />Objective 6: Implement a Conservation Water Rate Structure and/or a Uniform Rate <br />Structure with a Water Conservation Program <br />32 <br />66 <br />
