ERMU Commission Eric Volk—Water Superintendent
MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
July 11, 2017 2.5
SUBJECT:
ERMU Water Supply Plan 2016-2026
ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt the ERMU Water Supply Plan 2016-2026
DISCUSSION:
Every ten years we are required by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR)to
update our Water Supply Plan. In the Water Supply Plan we outline where we pump our water
from, how it is treated, and how much we are selling. We also have to make some predictions on
population growth and the impacts it will have on sales. A few things that the DNR looks closely
at are rates, system loss, and conversation measures. On June 14, 2017, our Water Supply Plan
was approved by the DNR with no comments.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None

RESOURCES AND METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
INTRODUCTION TO WATER SUPPLY PLANS (WSP)
Who needs to complete a Water Supply Plan
Public water suppliers serving more than 1,000 people, and large private water suppliers in designated
Groundwater Management Areas, and all water suppliers in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, are
required to prepare and submit a water supply plan.
The goal of the WSP is to help water suppliers: 1) implement long term water sustainability and
conservation measures; and 2) develop critical emergency preparedness measures.Your community
needs to know what measures will be implemented in case of a water crisis.A lot of emergencies can be
avoided or mitigated if long term sustainability measures are implemented.
Groundwater Management Areas (GWMA)
The DNR has designated three areas of the state as Groundwater Management Areas (GWMAs)to focus
groundwater management efforts in specific geographies where there is an added risk of overuse or
water quality degradation. A plan directing the DNRs actions within each GWMA has been prepared.
Although there are no specific additional requirements with respect to the water supply planning for
communities within designated GWMAs, communities should be aware of the issues and actions
planned if they are within the boundary of one of the GWMAs. The three GWMAs are the North and
East Metro GWMA(Twin Cities Metro),the Bonanza Valley GWMA and the Straight River GWMA(near
Park Rapids). Additional information and maps are included in the DNR webpage at
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/gwmp/areas.html
Benefits of completing a WSP
Completing a WSP using this template,fulfills a water supplier's statutory obligations under M.S.
M.S.103G.291 to complete a water supply plan. For water suppliers in the metropolitan area,the WSP
will help local governmental units to fulfill their requirements under M.S. 473.859 to complete a local
comprehensive plan. Additional benefits of completing WSP template:
• The standardized format allows for quicker and easier review and approval
• Help water suppliers prepare for droughts and water emergencies.
• Create eligibility for funding requests to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH)for the
Drinking Water Revolving Fund.
• Allow water suppliers to submit requests for new wells or expanded capacity of existing wells.
• Simplify the development of county comprehensive water plans and watershed plans.
• Fulfill the contingency plan provisions required in the MDH wellhead protection and surface
water protection plans.
6
46
• Fulfill the demand reduction requirements of Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.291 subd 3
and 4.
• Upon implementation, contribute to maintaining aquifer levels, reducing potential well
interference and water use conflicts, and reducing the need to drill new wells or expand
system capacity.
• Enable DNR to compile and analyze water use and conservation data to help guide decisions.
• Conserve Minnesota's water resources
If your community needs assistance completing the Water Supply Plan, assistance is available from your
area hydrologist or groundwater specialist, the MN Rural Waters Association circuit rider program, or in
the metropolitan area from Metropolitan Council staff. Many private consultants are also available.
WSP Approval Process
10 Basic Steps for completing a 10-Year Water Supply Plan

D. Future Demand Projections -Key Metropolitan Council Benchmark
Water Use Trends
Use the data in Table 2 to describe trends in 1) population served; 2)total per capita water demand; 3)
average daily demand;4) maximum daily demand.Then explain the causes for upward or downward
trends. For example, over the ten years has the average daily demand trended up or down?Why is this
occurring?
Over the last ten years the average daily demand has trended up slightly. I believe this is due in part to the number
of commercial customers we have had move into our service area. Our per capita demand has been almost cut in
half over the last ten years,with our population doubling in the same time period.Our maximum daily demand has
more or less remained steady over the last ten years.
Use the water use trend information discussed above to complete Table 7 with projected annual
demand for the next ten years. Communities in the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area must
also include projections for 2030 and 2040 as part of their local comprehensive planning.
Projected demand should be consistent with trends evident in the historical data in Table 2, as discussed
above. Projected demand should also reflect state demographer population projections and/or other
planning projections.

Projection Method
Describe the method used to project water demand, including assumptions for population and business
growth and how water conservation and efficiency programs affect projected water demand:
The Projected Total Per Capita Water Demand was calculated with a target goal of 75 GPD per person in the year
2040. Trends in the last ten years have been steadily decreasing. To project the Average Daily Demand the
Projected Population was multiplied by the Projected Total Per Capita Water Demand. The ten year trend for
Average Daily Demand has slowly increased. To project the Maximum Daily Demand the 2015 Maximum Pumping
day was divided by the current population. The ratio was 190%for the current population of 23,172. Then, 190%
was multiplied by the Projected Population for each year to give the Projected Maximum Daily Demand. The ten
years trends for Maximum Daily Demand are not reliable due to growth and excessive loss.

Part 2. Emergency Preparedness Procedures
The emergency preparedness procedures outlined in this plan are intended to comply with the
contingency plan provisions required by MDH in the WHP and SWP. Water emergencies can occur as a
result of vandalism,sabotage, accidental contamination, mechanical problems, power failings, drought,
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 of, an all-hazard emergency
operations plan. Municipalities that already have written procedures dealing with water emergencies
should review the following information and update existing procedures to address these water supply
protection measures.
A. Federal Emergency Response Plan
Section 1433(b) of the Safe Drinking Water Act, (Public Law 107-188,Title IV- Drinking Water Security
and Safety) requires community water suppliers serving over 3,300 people to prepare an Emergency
Response Plan.
Do you have a federal emergency response plan?Yes
If yes,what was the date it was certified?September 2006
Complete Table 15 by inserting the noted information regarding your completed Federal Emergency
Response Plan.

B. Operational Contingency Plan
All utilities should have a written operational contingency plan that describes measures to be taken for
water supply mainline breaks and other common system failures as well as routine maintenance.
Do you have a written operational contingency plan? -Yes
At a minimum, a water supplier should prepare and maintain an emergency contact list of contractors
and suppliers.
C. Emergency Response Procedures
Water suppliers must meet the requirements of MN Rules 4720.5280 .Accordingly,the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources(DNR) requires public water suppliers serving more than 1,000 people
23
63
to submit Emergency and Conservation Plans.Water emergency and conservation plans that have been
approved by the DNR, under provisions of Minnesota Statute 186 and Minnesota Rules, part 6115.0770,
will be considered equivalent to an approved WHP contingency plan.

Current Water Sources and Service Area
Quick access to concise and detailed information on water sources,water treatment, and the
distribution system may be needed in an emergency. System operation and maintenance records should
be maintained in secured central and back-up locations so that the records are accessible for emergency
purposes.A detailed map of the system showing the treatment plants,water sources, storage facilities,
supply lines, interconnections, and other information that would be useful in an emergency should also
be readily available. It is critical that public water supplier representatives and emergency response
personnel communicate about the response procedures and be able to easily obtain this kind of
information both in electronic and hard copy formats (in case of a power outage).
Do records and maps exist?
✓ Yes
Can staff access records and maps from a central secured location in the event of an emergency?
✓ Yes
Does the appropriate staff know where the materials are located?
✓ Yes
Procedure for Augmenting Water Supplies
Complete Tables 16—17 by listing all available sources of water that can be used to augment or replace
existing sources in an emergency.Add rows to the tables as needed.
In the case of a municipality,this information should be contained in a notification and warning
standard operating procedure maintained by the warning point for that community. Municipalities are
encouraged to execute cooperative agreements for potential emergency water services and copies
should be included in Appendix 6. Outstate Communities may consider using nearby high capacity wells
(industry, golf course) as emergency water sources.
WSP should include information on any physical or chemical problems that may limit interconnections
to other sources of water.Approvals from the MDH are required for interconnections or the reuse of
water.

If not covered above, describe additional emergency measures for providing water(obtaining bottled
water, or steps to obtain National Guard services, etc.)
• On an emergency basis, water could be hauled into Elk River from other cities such as Ramsey,
Otsego, Big Lake and Zimmerman by tanker.
• If bottled water was to be distributed, the Elk River Emergency Operations Center would be
activated to assist in the distribution of bottled water.
• Any support required from the Minnesota National Guard would be coordinated through the State
Duty Officer.
Allocation and Demand Reduction Procedures
Complete Table 18 by adding information about how decisions will be made to allocate water and
reduce demand during an emergency. Provide information for each customer category, including its
priority ranking, average day demand, and demand reduction potential for each customer category.
Modify the customer categories as needed,and add additional lines if necessary.
Water use categories should be prioritized in a way that is consistent with Minnesota Statutes 103G.261
(#1 is highest priority) as follows:
1. Water use for human needs such as cooking, cleaning, drinking, washing and waste disposal; use
for on-farm livestock watering; and use for power production that meets contingency
requirements.
2. Water use involving consumption of less than 10,000 gallons per day(usually from private wells
or surface water intakes)
3. Water use for agricultural irrigation and processing of agricultural products involving
consumption of more than 10,000 gallons per day (usually from private high-capacity wells or
surface water intakes)
4. Water use for power production above the use provided for in the contingency plan.
5. All other water use involving consumption of more than 10,000 gallons per day.
6. Nonessential uses—car washes,golf courses, etc.
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. Lower priority uses will need to address
water used for human needs at other types of facilities 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. Water use for lawn sprinkling,
vehicle washing, golf courses, and recreation are legislatively considered non-essential.

Tip:Calculating Emergency Demand Reduction Potential
The emergency demand reduction potential for all uses will typically equal the difference between
maximum use (summer demand) and base use (winter demand). In extreme emergency situations,
lower priority water uses must be restricted or eliminated to protect priority domestic water
requirements. Emergency demand reduction potential should be based on average day demands for
customer categories within each priority class. Use the tables in Part 3 on water conservation to help
you determine strategies.

Enforcement
Prior to a water emergency, municipal water suppliers must adopt regulations that restrict water use
and outline the enforcement response plan. The enforcement response plan must outline how
conditions will be monitored to know when enforcement actions are triggered,what enforcement tools
will be used,who will be responsible for enforcement, and what timelines for corrective actions will be
expected.
Affected operations,communications, and enforcement staff must then be trained to rapidly implement
those provisions during emergency conditions.
Important Note:
Disregard of critical water deficiency orders,even though total appropriation remains less than
permitted, is adequate grounds for immediate modification of a public water supply authority's water
use permit(2013 MN Statutes 103G.291)

Does the city have a critical water deficiency restriction/official control in place that includes
provisions to restrict water use and enforce the restrictions?(This restriction may be an
ordinance, rule, regulation, policy under a council directive,or other official control) Yes
If yes, attach the official control document to this WSP as Appendix 7.
If no,the municipality must adopt such an official control within 6 months of submitting this WSP and
submit it to the DNR as an amendment to this WSP.
Irrespective of whether a critical water deficiency control is in place,does the public water supply
utility,city manager, mayor,or emergency manager have standing authority to implement water
restrictions? Yes

Significant water significant costs use activities, exceedances of water quality standards from natural
reduction; (do only if
significant costsnecessary) and human sources, contaminants of emerging concern, and
increasing pollutant trends from nonpoint sources.
There are many incentives for conserving water; conservation:
• reduces the potential for pumping-induced transfer of contaminants into the deeper aquifers,
which can add treatment costs
• reduces the need for capital projects to expand system capacity
• reduces the likelihood of water use conflicts, like well interference, aquatic habitat loss, and
declining lake levels
• conserves energy, because less energy is needed to extract,treat and distribute water(and less
energy production also conserves water since water is use to produce energy)
• maintains water supplies that can then be available during times of drought
It is therefore imperative that water suppliers implement water conservation plans. The first step in
water conservation is identifying opportunities for behavioral or engineering changes that could be
made to reduce water use by conducting a thorough analysis of:
• Water use by customer
• Extraction,treatment, distribution and irrigation system efficiencies
• Industrial processing system efficiencies
• Regulatory and barriers to conservation
• Cultural barriers to conservation
• Water reuse opportunities
Once accurate data is compiled, water suppliers can set achievable goals for reducing water use. A
successful water conservation plan follows a logical sequence of events.The plan should address both
conservation on the supply side (leak detection and repairs, metering), as well as on the demand side
(reductions in usage). Implementation should be conducted in phases,starting with the most obvious
and lowest-cost options. In some cases one of the early steps will be reviewing regulatory constraints to
water conservation, such as lawn irrigation requirements. Outside funding and grants may be available
for implementation of projects. Engage water system operators and maintenance staff and customers
in brainstorming opportunities to reduce water use. Ask the question: "How can I help save water?"
Progress since 2006
Is this your community's first Water Supply Plan? Yes
If yes, describe conservation practices that you are already implementing, such as: pricing, system
improvements, education, regulation, appliance retrofitting, enforcement, etc.

ERMU has implemented an inclining rate structure.We also have a rebate program for SMART irrigation
controllers, and programs for commercial customers to receive a rebate if they do a number of
landscaping projects that promote water conservation. On a scheduled rotation we also will facilitate
the sale of rain barrels for our customers to purchase from ERMU at a cheaper rate than they can
purchase from a retailer.The city has adopted a sprinkling ordinance. It is an odd/even ordinance
If no, complete Table 21 to summarize conservation actions taken since the adoption of the 2006 water

B. Conservation Objectives and Strategies -Key benchmark for DNR
This section establishes water conservation objectives and strategies for eight major areas of water use.
Objective 1: Reduce Unaccounted (Non-Revenue)Water loss to Less than 10%
The Minnesota Rural Waters Association,the Metropolitan Council and the Department of Natural
Resources recommend that all water uses be metered. Metering can help identify high use locations
and times, along with leaks within buildings that have multiple meters.
It is difficult to quantify specific unmetered water use such as that associated with firefighting and
system flushing or system leaks. Typically,water suppliers subtract metered water use from total water
pumped to calculate unaccounted or non-revenue water loss.
Is your ten-year average (2005-2014)unaccounted Water Use in Table 2 higher than 10%?
✓ No
What is your leak detection monitoring schedule?
Contract a leak detection expert to check 1/4 of the distribution system annually for leaks.
Water Audits—are intended to identify, quantify and verify water and revenue losses.The volume of
unaccounted-for water should be evaluated each billing cycle.The American Water Works Association
(AWWA) recommends that ten percent or less of pumped water is unaccounted-for water.Water audit

Year last leak detection survey completed:
If Table 2 shows annual water losses over 10%or an increasing trend over time, describe what actions
will be taken to reach the<10% loss objective and within what timeframe
ERMU water losses are below 10%annually.
Metering—AWWA recommends that every water supplier install meters to account for all water taken
into its system, along with all water distributed from its system at each customer's point of service.An
effective metering program relies upon periodic performance testing, repair, maintenance or
replacement of all meters.AWWA also recommends that water suppliers conduct regular water audits
to ensure accountability. Some cities install separate meters for interior and exterior water use, but
some research suggests that this may not result in water conservation.
Complete Table 23 by adding the requested information regarding the number,types,testing and
maintenance of customer meters.

Objective 2:Achieve Less than 75 Residential Gallons per Capita Demand (GPCD)
The 2002 average residential per capita demand in the Twin Cities Metropolitan area was 75 gallons per
capita per day.
Is your average 2010-2015 residential per capita water demand in Table 2 more than 75?—No
What was your 2005—2014 ten-year average residential per capita water demand?39 g/person/day
Describe the water use trend over that timeframe:
The Residential Per Capita Demand has steadily decreased over the last five years.The average went from 45.55

Complete Table 26 by checking which strategies you will used to continue reducing non-residential
customer use demand and project a likely timeframe for completing each checked strategy (add rows
for additional strategies).
Where possible, substitute recycled water used in one process for reuse in another. (For example, spent
rinse water can often be reused in a cooling tower.) Keep in mind the true cost of water is the amount
on the water bill PLUS the expenses to heat, cool,treat, pump,and dispose of/discharge the water.
Don't just calculate the initial investment. Many conservation retrofits that appear to be prohibitively
expensive are actually very cost-effective when amortized over the life of the equipment. Often
reducing water use also saves electrical and other utility costs. Note: as of 2015,water reuse, and is not
allowed by the state plumbing code, M.R.4715 (a variance is needed). However several state agencies
are addressing this issue.

(i.e., residential, institutional, commercial, industrial) from 2005-2014 and add the calculated/estimated
linear trend for the next 10 years.
35
75
Describe the trend for each customer category; explain the reason(s)for the trends, and where trends
are increasing.
ERMU is only capable of tracking the residential and the commercial customer categories for the last ten
years.The residential category overall has decreased by 35%since 2007.The residential trend is
generally a declining trend.The commercial category has increased by 8%since 2007. Commercial has
trended up and down since 2007. In recent years many businesses have moved to Elk River due to the
healthier economy.
Objective 5: Reduce Peak Day Demand so that the Ratio of Average Maximum day to the
Average Day is less than 2.6
Is the ratio of average 2005-2014 maximum day demand to average 2005-2014 average day demand
reported in Table 2 more than 2.6?No
Calculate a ten year average (2005—2014)of the ratio of maximum day demand to average day
demand:2.33
The position of the DNR has been that a peak day/average day ratio that is above 2.6 for in summer
indicates that the water being used for irrigation by the residents in a community is too large and that
efforts should be made to reduce the peak day use by the community.
It should be noted that by reducing the peak day use, communities can also reduce the amount of
infrastructure that is required to meet the peak day use. This infrastructure includes new wells, new
water towers which can be costly items.

Objective 6: Implement a Conservation Water Rate Structure and/or a Uniform Rate
Structure with a Water Conservation Program
Water Conservation Program
Municipal water suppliers serving over 1,000 people are required to adopt demand reduction measures
that include a conservation rate structure, or a uniform rate structure with a conservation program that
achieves demand reduction. These measures must achieve demand reduction in ways that reduce
water demand, water losses, peak water demands, and nonessential water uses.These measures must
be approved before a community may request well construction approval from the Department of
Health or before requesting an increase in water appropriations permit volume (Minnesota Statutes,
section 103G.291, subd. 3 and 4). Rates should be adjusted on a regular basis to ensure that revenue of
the system is adequate under reduced demand scenarios. If a municipal water supplier intends to use a
Uniform Rate Structure, a community-wide Water Conservation Program that will achieve demand
reduction must be provided.
Current Water Rates
Include a copy of the actual rate structure in Appendix 9 or list current water rates including
base/service fees and volume charges below.
Volume included in base rate or service charge: 0 gallons
Frequency of billing: - Monthly
Water Rate Evaluation Frequency: no schedule
Date of last rate change:January 1, 2016
Table 27.Rate structures for each customer category(Select all that apply and add additional rows as needed)
37
77
Residential • Monthly Billing • Odd/Even day
• Increasing block rates watering
(volume tiered rates)
• Use water bill to provide
comparisons
• Service charge not based
on water volume
Commercial/ • Monthly Billing • Odd/Even day
Industrial/ • Increasing block rates watering
Institutional • Service charge not based
on water volume
* Rate Structures components that may promote water conservation:
• Monthly billing: is encouraged to help people see their water usage so they can consider changing
behavior.
• Increasing block rates(also known as a tiered residential rate structure): Typically,these have at least
three tiers:should have at least three tiers.
o The first tier is for the winter average water use.
o The second tier is the year-round average use,which is lower than typical summer use.This rate
should be set to cover the full cost of service.
o The third tier should be above the average annual use and should be priced high enough to
encourage conservation,as should any higher tiers. For this to be effective,the difference in
block rates should be significant.
• Seasonal rate: higher rates in summer to reduce peak demands
• Time of Use rates: lower rates for off peak water use
• Bill water use in gallons: this allows customers to compare their use to average rates
• Individualized goal rates:typically used for industry, business or other large water users to promote
water conservation if they keep within agreed upon goals. Excess Use rates: if water use goes above an
agreed upon amount this higher rate is charged
• Drought surcharge: an extra fee is charged for guaranteed water use during drought
• Use water bill to provide comparisons:simple graphics comparing individual use over time or compare
individual use to others.
• Service charge or base fee that does not include a water volume—a base charge or fee to cover universal
city expenses that are not customer dependent and/or to provide minimal water at a lower rate(e.g.,an
amount less than the average residential per capita demand for the water supplier for the last 5 years)
• Emergency rates-A community may have a separate conservation rate that only goes into effect when
the community or governor declares a drought emergency. These higher rates can help to protect the city
budgets during times of significantly less water usage.
**Conservation Neutral**
• Uniform rate:rate per unit used is the same regardless of the volume used
• Odd/even day watering—This approach reduces peak demand on a daily basis for system operation, but
it does not reduce overall water use.
***Non-Conserving***
• Service charge or base fee with water volume:an amount of water larger than the average residential
per capita demand for the water supplier for the last 5 years
• Declining block rate:the rate per unit used decreases as water use increases.
38
78
• Flat rate:one fee regardless of how much water is used (usually unmetered).
Provide justification for any conservation neutral or non-conserving rate structures. If intending to adopt
a conservation rate structure, include the timeframe to do so:
Objective 7:Additional strategies to Reduce Water Use and Support Wellhead Protection
Planning
Development and redevelopment projects can provide additional water conservation opportunities,
such as the actions listed below. If a Uniform Rate Structure is in place,the water supplier must provide
a Water Conservation Program that includes at least two of the actions listed below. Check those actions
that you intent to implement within the next 10 years.
Table 28.Additional strategies to Reduce Water Use&Support Wellhead Protection
✓ Participate in the GreenStep Cities Program, including implementation of at least one of the 20
"Best Practices" for water
The City of Elk River is a Green Step City Step 4. The City of Elk River,along with ERMU,
have taken steps to improve water quality (19.3) and have adopted a Shoreland Ordinance
(19.4). Elk River also reviews energy use and performance of water and wastewater facility
(20.1) and plans and budgets for maintenance and upgrades to the systems (20.2)
✓ Prepare a Comprehensive Open Space Plan (areas for parks,green spaces, natural areas)
✓ Adopt a Water Use Restriction Ordinance (lawn irrigation, car washing, pools,etc.)
✓ Adopt an Outdoor Lawn Irrigation Ordinance
✓ Implement a Stormwater Management Program
✓ Implement a Rebate program for water efficient appliances,fixtures, or outdoor water
management
Objective 8:Tracking Success:How will you track or measure success through the next ten
years?
Elk River Municipal Utilities will continue to do an annual review of usage to include GPCD. ERMU will
also continue to monitor and implement programs to reduce unaccounted for loss. New conservation
programs will be researched and developed to ensure that ERMU will remain at the forefront of
conservation.
Tip: The process to monitor demand reduction and/or a rate structure includes:
a) The DNR District Hydrologist or Groundwater Appropriation Hydrologist will call or visit the
community the first 1-3 years after the water supply plan is completed.
b) They will discuss what activities the community is doing to conserve water and if they feel their
actions are successful. The Water Supply Plan, Part 3 tables and responses will guide the discussion.
For example,they will discuss efforts to reduce unaccounted for water loss if that is a problem, or go
through Tables 33, 34 and 35 to discuss new initiatives.
c) The city representative and the hydrologist will discuss total per capita water use, residential per
capita water use, and business/industry use. They will note trends.
39
79
d) They will also discuss options for improvement and/or collect case studies of success stories to share
with other communities. One option may be to change the rate structure, but there are many other
paths to successful water conservation.
e) If appropriate,they will cooperatively develop a simple work plan for the next few years,targeting a
couple areas where the city might focus efforts.
A. Regulation
Complete Table 29 by selecting which regulations are used to reduce demand and improve water
efficiencies. Add additional rows as needed.
Copies of adopted regulations or proposed restrictions or should be included in Appendix 10(a list with
hyperlinks is acceptable).

B. Retrofitting Programs
Education and incentive programs aimed at replacing inefficient plumbing fixtures and appliances can
help reduce per capita water use, as well as energy costs. It is recommended that municipal water
suppliers develop a long-term plan to retrofit public buildings with water efficient plumbing fixtures and
appliances. Some water suppliers have developed partnerships with organizations having similar
conservation goals, such as electric or gas suppliers,to develop cooperative rebate and retrofit
programs.
A study by the AWWA Research Foundation (Residential End Uses of Water, 1999)found that the
average indoor water use for a non-conserving home is 69.3 gallons per capita per day (gpcd).The
average indoor water use in a conserving home is 45.2 gpcd and most of the decrease in water use is
related to water efficient plumbing fixtures and appliances that can reduce water, sewer and energy
costs. In Minnesota, certain electric and gas providers are required (Minnesota Statute 2166.241)to
fund programs that will conserve energy resources and some utilities have distributed water efficient
showerheads to customers to help reduce energy demands required to supply hot water.
Retrofitting Programs
Complete Table 30 by checking which water uses are targeted,the outreach methods used,the
measures used to identify success, and any participating partners.

C. Education and Information Programs
Customer education should take place in three different circumstances. First, customers should be
provided information on how to conserve water and improve water use efficiencies. Second,
information should be provided at appropriate times to address peak demands.Third, emergency
notices and educational materials about how to reduce water use should be available for quick
distribution during an emergency.

GLOSSARY
Agricultural/Irrigation Water Use-Water used for crop and non-crop irrigation, livestock watering,
chemigation,golf course irrigation, landscape and athletic field irrigation.
Average Daily Demand -The total water pumped during the year divided by 365 days.
Calcareous Fen-Calcareous fens are rare and distinctive wetlands dependent on a constant supply of
cold groundwater. Because they are dependent on groundwater and are one of the rarest natural
communities in the United States,they are a protected resource in MN. Approximately 200 have been
located in Minnesota.They may not be filled, drained or otherwise degraded.
Commercial/Institutional Water Use-Water used by motels, hotels, restaurants, office buildings,
commercial facilities and institutions (both civilian and military). Consider maintaining separate
institutional water use records for emergency planning and allocation purposes. Water used by multi-
family dwellings, apartment buildings, senior housing complexes, and mobile home parks should be
reported as Residential Water Use.
Commercial/Institutional/Industrial (C/I/I)Water Sold -The sum of water delivered for
commercial/institutional or industrial purposes.
Conservation Rate Structure-A rate structure that encourages conservation and may include increasing
block rates, seasonal rates,time of use rates, individualized goal rates, or excess use rates. If a
conservation rate is applied to multifamily dwellings,the rate structure must consider each residential
unit as an individual user. A community may have a separate conservation rate that only goes into
effect when the community or governor declares a drought emergency. These higher rates can help to
protect the city budgets during times of significantly less water usage.
Date of Maximum Daily Demand-The date of the maximum (highest)water demand. Typically this is a
day in July or August.
Declining Rate Structure-Under a declining block rate structure, a consumer pays less per additional
unit of water as usage increases.This rate structure does not promote water conservation.
Distribution System -Water distribution systems consist of an interconnected series of pipes,valves,
storage facilities(water tanks,water towers, reservoirs), water purification facilities, pumping stations,
flushing hydrants, and components that convey drinking water and meeting fire protection needs for
cities, homes, schools, hospitals, businesses, industries and other facilities.
Flat Rate Structure- Flat fee rates do not vary by customer characteristics or water usage.This rate
structure does not promote water conservation.
Industrial Water Use-Water used for thermonuclear power(electric utility generation)and other
industrial use such as steel, chemical and allied products, paper and allied products, mining, and
petroleum refining.
45
85
Low Flow Fixtures/Appliances-Plumbing fixtures and appliances that significantly reduce the amount
of water released per use are labeled "low flow".These fixtures and appliances use just enough water to
be effective, saving excess, clean drinking water that usually goes down the drain.
Maximum Daily Demand -The maximum (highest)amount of water used in one day.
Metered Residential Connections-The number of residential connections to the water system that
have meters. For multifamily dwellings, report each residential unit as an individual user.
Percent Unmetered/Unaccounted For- Unaccounted for water use is the volume of water withdrawn
from all sources minus the volume of water delivered.This value represents water"lost" by
miscalculated water use due to inaccurate meters,water lost through leaks,or water that is used but
unmetered or otherwise undocumented.Water used for public services such as hydrant flushing, ice
skating rinks, and public swimming pools should be reported under the category"Water Supplier
Services".
Population Served -The number of people who are served by the community's public water supply
system.This includes the number of people in the community who are connected to the public water
supply system,as well as people in neighboring communities who use water supplied by the
community's public water supply system. It should not include residents in the community who have
private wells or get their water from neighboring water supply.
Residential Connections-The total number of residential connections to the water system. For
multifamily dwellings, report each residential unit as an individual user.
Residential Per Capita Demand -The total residential water delivered during the year divided by the
population served divided by 365 days.
Residential Water Use-Water used for normal household purposes such as drinking,food preparation,
bathing, washing clothes and dishes,flushing toilets, and watering lawns and gardens.Should include all
water delivered to single family private residences, multi-family dwellings, apartment buildings, senior
housing complexes, mobile home parks,etc.
Smart Meter-Smart meters can be used by municipalities or by individual homeowners. Smart
metering generally indicates the presence of one or more of the following:
• Smart irrigation water meters are controllers that look at factors such as weather,soil,slope,
etc. and adjust watering time up or down based on data.Smart controllers in a typical summer
will reduce water use by 30%-50%.Just changing the spray nozzle to new efficient models can
reduce water use by 40%.
• Smart Meters on customer premises that measure consumption during specific time periods and
communicate it to the utility, often on a daily basis.
• A communication channel that permits the utility, at a minimum,to obtain meter reads on
demand, to ascertain whether water has recently been flowing through the meter and onto the
46
86
premises, and to issue commands to the meter to perform specific tasks such as disconnecting
or restricting water flow.
Total Connections-The number of connections to the public water supply system.
Total Per Capita Demand -The total amount of water withdrawn from all water supply sources during
the year divided by the population served divided by 365 days.
Total Water Pumped-The cumulative amount of water withdrawn from all water supply sources during
the year.
Total Water Delivered-The sum of residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, water supplier
services,wholesale and other water delivered.
Ultimate(Full Build-Out)-Time period representing the community's estimated total amount and
location of potential development, or when the community is fully built out at the final planned density.
Unaccounted (Non-revenue) Loss -See definitions for"percent unmetered/unaccounted for loss".
Uniform Rate Structure-A uniform rate structure charges the same price-per-unit for water usage
beyond the fixed customer charge,which covers some fixed costs.The rate sends a price signal to the
customer because the water bill will vary by usage. Uniform rates by class charge the same price-per-
unit for all customers within a customer class(e.g. residential or non-residential).This price structure is
generally considered less effective in encouraging water conservation.
Water Supplier Services-Water used for public services such as hydrant flushing, ice skating rinks,
public swimming pools, city park irrigation, back-flushing at water treatment facilities, and/or other
uses.
Water Used for Nonessential Purposes-Water used for lawn irrigation,golf course and park irrigation,
car washes, ornamental fountains, and other non-essential uses.
Wholesale Deliveries-The amount of water delivered in bulk to other public water suppliers.

Water Level Monitoring Plan
The following activities will be completed on a routine basis to ensure consistent monitoring
of each well and the health of the aquifer.
1. Elk River Municipal Utilities will continually monitor the static and pumping levels
in each well through SCADA trending levels.
2. The Water Superintendent will take the monthly highest static and the lowest
pumping levels, and then calculate the monthly maximum drawdown.
3. After the drawdown has been calculated, the water superintendent will calculate the
specific capacity for each well.
4. The static, pumping, drawdown, and specific capacities will be recorded on a
spreadsheet and maintained for at least ten years.

Minnesota Water Supply Plan Instructions & Checklist
2016-2018
MNDNR
Public Water Suppliers
All public water suppliers in Minnesota that operate a public water distribution system,serve more
than 1,000 people and/or all cities in the seven-county metropolitan area, must have a water
supply plan approved by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Water supply plans must be
updated and submitted to the DNR for approval every ten years. This requirement, in place since
the 1990s,is designed to encourage communities to deal proactively with providing sustainable
drinking water for citizens,businesses,and industry.'
These plan updates will be due between 2016 and 2018;the DNR will be notifying communities of
the due date for each specific city water plan.All sections of the water supply plan must be
completed in order for the plan to be approved.A checklist is included with these instructions on
pages 4 and 5.
What is New?
• Plans can be submitted through Minnesota DNR Permitting and Reporting System (MPARS).
• DNR Hydrologists will be meeting with clusters of communities rather than individually. In
the Twin Cities metropolitan area, Metropolitan Council staff will also provide technical
assistance and in Greater MN,staff from MN Rural Waters Association will join us.
• There is a greater emphasis on water conservation/demand reduction and on developing
rate structures that encourage conservation.
• Simplified reporting: More tables with check boxes; less writing required.
• Part 4 of the plan,required for communities in the seven-county metropolitan area,now
reflects the Twin Cities metropolitan area Master Water Supply Plan
• Resources - can be found at www.mndnr.gov/watersupplvplans including copies of sample
rate structures, conservation ordinances,education programs,water level recording
forms, certificate of adoption, and other items as well as links to useful conservation
web pages.
