CMP Part 4C. Water Supply <br /> MnDNR objectives <br /> 1. MnDNR Objective 1: Reduce Unaccounted (Non-Revenue) Water <br /> loss to Less than 10%. The city is currently meeting this objective. <br /> Thorough water audits, leak detection and preventive maintenance. <br /> 2. MnDNR Objective 2: Achieve Less than 75 Residential Gallons per <br /> Capita Demand (GPCD). The city is meeting this objective with a 5 <br /> year average per capita demand of 73 Gal/day. The average residential <br /> per capita water demand has been on a downward trend since a high of <br /> 93.4 gpcd in 2006 to a low of 60.2 gpcd in 2015. <br /> 3. MnDNR Objective 3: Achieve at least 1.5% annual reduction in <br /> non-residential per capita water use. Education- The City will <br /> continue to provide residents information pamphlets via newsletter and <br /> social media as such pamphlets become available from the DNR and <br /> MDH. There is very little C/I/I or Ag water usage within the City of <br /> Orono. <br /> 4. MnDNR Objective 4: Achieve a Decreasing Trend in Total Per <br /> Capita Demand. The Residential per capita water demand has been <br /> trending downward since 2005, with a years of spikes within the data. <br /> These spikes can likely be attributed to years with less rainfall, which <br /> leads to greater irrigation use within the residential sector. It is likely <br /> that the trend will continue downward as time progresses due to <br /> increased education about water use and a recently revised water rate <br /> structure. The C/I/I per capita water demand appears to be trending <br /> downward overall with various spikes and fluctuations throughout the <br /> years. These sometimes large fluctuations can be attributed to the <br /> smaller and ever changing client base that is present in the City within <br /> the C/I/I category. <br /> 5. MnDNR Objective 5: Reduce Ratio of Maximum day(peak day) to <br /> the Average Day Demand to Less Than 2.6. Calculate a ten-year <br /> average (2005 —2014) of the ratio of maximum day demand to average <br /> day demand is 4.8. This high ratio is likely due to excessive irrigation <br /> in the summer months. The city will continue to encourage responsible <br /> water use though educational efforts and discourage individual high <br /> water use through our tiers water rate structure. <br /> 6. MnDNR Objective 6: Implement Demand Reduction Measures. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 27 <br />
