The plan must include procedures to address gradual decreases in water supply as well as emergencies and the sudden loss of water due to line breaks, power failures, sabotage, etc. During periods oflimited water supplies public water suppliers are required to allocate water based on the priorities established in Minnesota Statutes 103G.261.

List the statutory water use priorities along with any local priorities (hospitals, nursing homes, etc.) in Table 8. Water used for human needs at hospitals, nursing homes and similar types of facilities should be designated as a high priority to be maintained in an emergency Local allocation priorities will need to address water used for human needs at other types offacilities such as hotels, office buildings, and manufacturing plants The volume of water and other types of water uses at these facilities must be carefully considered After reviewing the data, common sense should dictate local allocation priorities to protect domestic requirements over certain types of economic needs. In Table 8, list the priority ranking, average day demand and demand reduction potential for each customer category (modifY customer categories if necessary) .
