<br />DRAFT <br /> <br />Declining block (the more water used, the cheaper the rate) and flat (one fee for an unlimited <br />volume of water) rates should be phased out and replaced with conservation rates. <br />Incorporating a seasonal rate structure and the benefits of a monthly billing cycle should also <br />be considered along with the development of an emergency rate structure that could be <br />quickly implemented to encourage conservation in an emergency. <br /> <br />Current Water Rates. Include a copy of the actual rate structure in Attachment <br />current water rates including base/service fees and volume charges below. <br />Base fee of $20 per quarter plus $ I. 90/1 000 gal <br /> <br />or list <br /> <br />Non-conserving Rate Structures. Provide justification for the rate structure and its impact on <br />reducing demands or indicate intentions including the timeframe for adopting a conservation rate <br />structure. <br /> <br />4. Regulation. Plans should include regulations for short-term reductions in demand and <br />long-term improvements in water efficiencies. Sample regulations are available from DNR <br />Waters. Copies of adopted regulations or proposed restrictions should be included in <br />Attachment C ofthe plan. Indicate any of the items below that are required by local <br />regulations and also indicate if the requirement is applied each year or just in emergencies <br /> <br />[2:J Time of Day: no watering between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm <br />(reduces evaporation) 0 year around [2:J seasonal 0 emergency only <br />[2:J Odd/Even: (helps reduce peak demand) 0 year around [2:J seasonal 0 emergency only <br />o Water waste prohibited (no runoff from irrigation systems) <br />Describe ordinance: <br />o Limitations on turf areas for landscaping (reduces high water use turf areas) <br />Describe ordinance: <br />o Soil preparation (such as 4"-6" of organic soil on new lurf areas with sandy soil) <br />Describe ordinance: <br />o Tree ratios (plant one tree for every square feet to reduce turf evapotranspiration) <br />Describe ordinance: <br />o Prohibit irrigation of medians or areas less than 8 feet wide <br />Describe ordinance: <br />o Permit required to fill swimming pool 0 every year 0 emergency only <br />o Other (describe): <br /> <br />O:\Planning COffimission\.L'omp Plan Updah:\\Vatcr Conservation Plan\2007 WaLcr conservation v4.doc <br />16 <br />
