Local Water Supply Plan Template —March 2016 <br />Water Conservation Program <br />Municipal water suppliers serving over 1,000 people are required to adopt demand reduction measures <br />that include a conservation rate structure, or a uniform rate structure with a conservation program that <br />achieves demand reduction. These measures must achieve demand reduction in ways that reduce <br />water demand, water losses, peak water demands, and nonessential water uses. These measures must <br />be approved before a community may request well construction approval from the Department of <br />Health or before requesting an increase in water appropriations permit volume (Minnesota Statutes, <br />section 103G.291, subd. 3 and 4). Rates should be adjusted on a regular basis to ensure that revenue of <br />the system is adequate under reduced demand scenarios. If a municipal water supplier intends to use a <br />Uniform Rate Structure, a community -wide Water Conservation Program that will achieve demand <br />reduction must be provided. <br />Current Water Rates <br />ctual_ra#e 4r �lre_ir�,llppendi�c.9 or dist, curies water"tatte$.-including <br />110 Vo <br />c ti rale titluded'in"fiase rate-. r servic-V charge:. t::- gallons or bic feet, ogler <br />x quei�cy-o#pilling:. t3 _l�lontt ly .13imonthl�i ) guar ri r C3 iffier: <br />Water lea#e Evaluation frecj eiic�+:. 7 every year - l -every years - bid sdheduie <br />Njo-pf lost ra#e"plaange =:.. k - <br />;able 7.
