<br />DRAFT <br />2. Unaccounted Water. Water audits are intended to identify, quantify, and verify water <br />and revenue losses. The volume of unaccounted-for water should be evaluated each billing <br />cycle. The A WW A recommends a goal often percent or less for unaccounted-for water. <br />Water audit procedures are available from the A WW A and MN Rural Water Association. <br /> <br />Frequency of water audits: D each billing cycle C8J yearly D other: <br /> <br />Leak detection and survey: Devery year D every years C8J periodic as needed <br />Year last leak detection survey completed: <br /> <br />Reducing Unaccounted Water. List potentia! sources and efforts being taken to reduce <br />unaccounted water. Ifunaccounted water exceeds 10% of tot a! withdrawals, include the <br />timeframe for completing work to reduce unaccounted water to 10% or less. <br />Unaccounted water is minor. We will continue to monitor this and <br />respond if unaccounted water exceeds 5%. Water system is <br />approximately 20 years old and newer. <br /> <br />3. Conservation Water Rates. Plans must include the current rate structure for all <br />customers and provide information on any proposed rate changes. Discuss the basis for <br />current price levels and rates, including cost of service data, and the impact current rates <br />have on conservation. <br /> <br />Billing Frequency: D Monthly D Bimonthly <br />D Other (describe): <br /> <br />C8J Quarterly <br /> <br />Volume included in base rate or service charge: 0 gallons or <br /> <br />cubic feet <br /> <br />Conservation Rate Structures <br />D Increasing block rate: rate per unit increases as water use increases <br />D Seasonal rate: higher rates in summer to reduce peak demands <br />C8J Service charge or base fee that does not include a water volume <br /> <br />Conservation Neutral Rate Structure <br />C8J Uniform rate: rate per unit is the same regardless of volume <br /> <br />Non-conserving Rate Structures <br />D Service charge or base fee that includes a large volume of water <br />D Declining block rate: rate per unit decreases as water use increases <br />D Flat rate: one fee regardless of how much water is used (unmetered) <br /> <br />Other (describe): <br /> <br />Water Rates Evaluated: C8J every year <br />Date of/ast rate change: 4/1/2005 <br /> <br />D every <br /> <br />years <br /> <br />D no schedule <br /> <br />O:\Pl;mning Commission\.l'omp Plan Updatc\Watcr Conservation Plan\2oo7 Water conRcrvation \'4.doc <br />15 <br />
