Declining block (the more water used, the cheaper the rate) and flat (one fee for an unlimited volume of water) rates should be phased out and replaced with conservation rates. Incorporating a seasonal rate structure and the benefits of a monthly billing cycle should also be considered along with the development of an emergency rate structure that could be quickly implemented to encourage conservation in an emergency. Current Water Rates. Include a copy of the actual rate structure in Attachment A or list current water rates including base/service fees and volume charges below. 2009 residential base fee $27.75 2009 residential senior base fee $18.00 meter size linch and greater base fee increases incrementally to $420.00 for 6 inch meter 2009 residential usage rate up to 30,000 gal./ qtr $1.85/1000gallons 2009 residential usage over 30,000 gallons/ qtr. $2.00/ 1000 gallons Non residential summer rate $$2.65/ 1000 gallons Non residential winter rate $2.40/ 1000 gallons Non-conserving Rate Structures. Provide justification for the rate structure and its impact on reducing demands or indicate intentions including the timeframe for adopting a conservation rate structure. 4. Regulation. Plans should include regulations for short-term reductions in demand and long-term improvements in water efficiencies. Sample regulations are available from DNR Waters. Copies of adopted regulations or proposed restrictions should be included in Attachment of the plan. Indicate any of the items below that are required by local regulations and also indicate if the requirement is applied each year or just in emergencies. ❑ Time of Day: no watering between am/pm and am/pm (reduces evaporation) ❑ year around ❑ seasonal ❑ emergency only ❑ Odd/Even: (helps reduce peak demand) ❑ year around ❑ seasonal ❑ emergency only ❑ Water waste prohibited (no runoff from irrigation systems) Describe ordinance: ❑ Limitations on turf areas for landscaping (reduces high water use turf areas) Describe ordinance: ❑ Soil preparation (such as 4"-6" of organic soil on new turf areas with sandy soil) Describe ordinance: ❑ Tree ratios (plant one tree for every square feet to reduce turf evapotranspiration) Describe ordinance: ❑ Prohibit irrigation of inedians or areas less than 8 feet wide Describe ordinance: ❑ Permit required to fill swimming pool ❑ every year ❑ emergency only � Other (describe): Emergency restrictions only as required by wholesale water contract with SPRWS. Other emergency restrictions as determined by operating necessity . lr-Water supply�lan2 template[1] 19
