HomeMy WebLinkAbout20090105 - VI-10VI-10 MEMO To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Tom Montgomery Date: December 22, 2008 Re: Approval of Water Supply Plan Part of the water system comprehensive plan includes a water supply plan that follows a strict format developed by the DNR. This water supply plan is used as a guide by the DNR to set the City's water appropriation permit. Yn summary, the water supply plan notes a need for an additional well within the ten year planning window, and requests an increase in the City's water appropriation permit volume to ~.3 billion gallons. Two items to continue to watch are the City's residential per capita use and the City's peak demand ratio. The DNR target for residential per capita use is 75 gallons/day. The City's current residential per capita use is 85 gallons/day. The water supply plan notes that the City's residential per capita use is trending downward and should continue on that trend as the landscaping for the surge of residential development in the last six to eight years matures and requires less watering. The peak demand ratio is a comparison of the City's peak summer usage to the average annual usage and is a good indicator of high lawn irrigation use. Adoption of addition water conservation measures will need to be investigated if the peak demand ration continues to increase. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Council is requested to adopt the 2ooS water Supply Plan. ~~. ~~ ~1~.

Th.e observation wells should be 4 inches in diameter, and be open to the entire ,lordan sandstone. The holes should be gamma logged prior to completion ofi the wells. Any variance tv this requirement can only be authorized in writing by the Area. l-tydrologist, CI~IR Obwell 19~a~ may serve as the well outside the well fiield. However? since no lithologie log exists for this well, the City would first have to determine the condition of the welt by video logging the well. lfi the well casing and open hale are in gaol. shape the City would then need to confirm what fiormation the well is open to through the use of borehole geophysical methods. Following completion of the observation wells, the adjacent land sur€ace and measure point far the observation wells shall be surveyed with elevations tied to mean sea level. All water level readings are to be recorded as depth to water from the top of casing. All data are to be retarded as decimal feet to the nearest ~.0~-foot.

EMERGENCY RESPQNSE PRQCEDURES 'later emergencies can occur as a result of vandalism, sabotage, accidental contamination, mechanical problems, power failures, droi~ght, flooding, and other natural disasters. The purpose of emergency planning is to develop emergency response procedures and to identify actions needed to improve emergency preparedness. In the case of a municipality, these procedures should be in support of, and part af, anall-hazard emergency operations plan. If your community already has written proced~ires dealing with water emerget~cies we recommend that ya~t use these guidelines to review and update existing procedures anal water supply protection measures.

The plan must i~aclude procedures to address gradual decreases in water supply as well as emergencies and tl7e sudden loss of water due to line breaks, power failures, sabotage, etc. During periods of limited water supplies public water suppliers are required to allocate water based on the priorities established in Minnesota Statutes l 03G.26 ~ . 1~Vatcr Use Priorities (Minnesota Statutes 103G.ZG 1 } First Pr~arity. Domestic water supply, excluding industrial and commercial uses of municipal w~ttcr supply, and use for power production that meets contingency rccluircments. IVp~'E: Domestic use is defined (Mif Rttles G l l 5.f3G30, Subp. ~}, as use for gcncral household purposes for human rlecds such as cooking, cleaning, drinking, washing, and waste disposal, and uses for on-farm livestock watering excluding commercial livestock operations which use more than l 0,0~~ gallons per day or one million gallons per year. Second Priority. Water uses involving consumption of less than l 0,00 gallons per day. Third Priority. Agricultural irrigation and processing of agricultural products. Fan~-th Priority. Power prodrtctian in excess of the use provided far in the contingency plan under first priority. Fifth Priority. Uses, other than agricultural irrigation, processing of agricultural products, and power production. Sixth Priority. Non-essential uses. These rises are defined by Minnesota Statutes 103G.291 as lawn sprinkling, vehicle washin~_ golf course and pant irrigation, and other non-essential uses. List the statutory water use priorities along with any local priorities hospitals, nt.trsing homes, etc.} in Table $. water used for hun~an needs at hospitals, nursing hones and similar types of facilities should be designated as a higlt priority to be maintained in an emergency. Local allocatioa~ priorities will need to address water used for httia~an needs at other types of facilities such as hotels, ofCce buildings, azxl manufacturing plants. The volume of water and ocher types of water uses at these facilities must be carefully cot~siderecl.

NIA Residential Gallons Pex Ca ita Demand GPCD} Average residential GPCD use far tl~e last S years fuse data from Table l~ 85 GPCD In 2002, average residential GPCD use in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area was 75 GPCD. Describe goals to reduce residential demand if the average for the last S years exceeds 75 GPCD. Residential per capita rates ~ve~•e pushed higher in the late 199a's and early 2000's drte to a boo~~~ in residential construction, and st~bsecluent increase in discretionary, non-essential water ~~se lawns and landscape watering}. The more recent slowdown in housing, along with maturing of lawns and la~~dscapes built du~-it~g tl~e boom, and conti~~~~ing educatio~~ efforts will red~~ce tl~e residential pea capita dema~~cl. Tl~e residential per capita demand averaged 71.Q gpcd over tl~e period 1991-1994. Total Per Capita Demand: From Table 1, is the t1-end in overall per capita demand over tl~e past 10 years Q ine~~easing or ®decreasing? If total GPCD is increasing, descx-ibe the goals to lower overall per canna demand or explain the reasons for the increase. The trend in overall pe~• capita demand appears to be decreasing over the past l0 years. Residential per capita demand appears to be increasing see Attach~~~ent 4}.

NIA ~. 'Water Conservation Programs. Describe all short-term conservation measures that are available far ~~se in an emergency and long-term measures to improve water use efficiencies for each of the six conservation program elements listed below. Short~term demand reduction measures must be included in tlae emergency response procedua-es and must be in support of, a~ad part of, a community all_hazard emergency operation plan. l . N~etering. The American Water Works Association ~A~VWA} recanamends that every water utility meter all water taken into its system and all water distributed from its system at Its customer's point of service. An effective metering program relies upon periodic performance testing, repair, repair and maintenance of all meters. AW'~A also recommends that utilities conduct regular water audits to ensure accountability. Complete Table 1 ~ ~A} regarding the number and maintenance of customer meters.

Retrofitting Programs, Education and incentive programs aimed at replacing inefficient plumbing f xtures and appliances can help reduce per capita water use as well as energy costs. It is recommended that communities develop a lang~tern~ plan to retrof t public buildings with water efficient plumbing f xtures and that the benefits of retrofitting be included in public education programs. You may also want to contact local electric or gas suppliers to see if they are interested in developing a showerhead distribution program for customers in your service area.
