Water Supply <br /> • Eliminate fire-fighting training practices that utilize water. <br /> • Purchase water from the City of Long Lake if the emergency condition is limited <br /> to the Orono water supply system. <br /> PROCEDURES FOR WATER ALLOCATION <br /> Allocation of water by the City of Orono may be required during a severe water shortage. <br /> When supply augmentation or demand reduction measures are determined to be inadequate, <br /> water allocation may be implemented in conformance with the following priorities <br /> established by Minnesota Statutes 103G.261: <br /> 1. First Priority: Domestic water supply, excluding commercial and industrial uses of <br /> municipal water supply, and use for power production that meets the statutory <br /> contingency planning requirements. <br /> 4, <br /> 2. Second Priority:Water uses involving consumption of less than 10,000 gallons of water <br /> per day. <br /> 3. Third Priority: Agricultural irrigation, and processing of agricultural products <br /> involving consumption in excess of 10,000 gallons per day. <br /> 4. Fourth Priority:Power production in excess of the use provided for in the contingency <br /> plan noted above under "First Priority". <br /> 4 <br /> 5. Fifth Priority: Uses other than agricultural irrigation, processing of agricultural <br /> products and power production, involving consumption in excess of 10,000 gallons <br /> per day. <br /> 6. Sixth Priority: Non-essential uses.Non-essential uses are defined in Minnesota Statutes <br /> 103G.291 as including but not limited to lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, and golf <br /> course and park irrigation.Non-essential water uses will be the first water uses subject <br /> to allocation restrictions. Quick responses to restrict non-essential uses during periods <br /> of limited supplies will help protect domestic and economic uses of water. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 24 <br />
