City of Little Canada 8-20 Water Supply Plan <br />55BTable 8-23: Water source meters <br /> Number of <br />Meters <br />Meter testing <br />schedule <br />(years) <br />Number of <br />Automated Meter <br />Readers <br />Average age/meter <br />replacement schedule <br />(years <br />Water source <br />(wells/intakes) <br />0 ___ / ___ <br />Treatment plant 0 ___ / ___ <br /> <br />56BObjective 2: Achieve Less than 75 Residential Gallons per Capita Demand (GPCD) <br />The 2002 average residential per capita demand in the Twin Cities Metropolitan area was 75 <br />gallons per capita per day. <br /> <br />Is your average 2010-2015 residential per capita water demand in Table 2 more than 75? <br />Yes ☐ No ☒ <br />What was your 2010 – 2015 five-year average residential per capita water demand? 72.0 <br />g/person/day <br />Describe the water use trend over that timeframe: <br /> <br />It was 75 gpd in 2010 and went up to 81 in 2011. Since then it has dropped each year, including all the <br />way down to 65.3 in 2015. The increase in summer precipitation has probably helped along with our new <br />meter reading system that can detect leaks. I also think people are purchasing low flow fixtures and <br />taking other measures on their own based on what they read and see on television. There are good <br />education programs these days. <br />57BTable 8-24: Strategies and timeframe to reduce residential per capita demand <br />Strategy to reduce residential per capita demand Timeframe for completing work <br />☐ Revise city ordinances/codes to encourage or require <br />water efficient landscaping. <br /> <br />☐ Revise city ordinance/codes to permit water reuse <br />options, especially for non-potable purposes like <br />irrigation, groundwater recharge, and industrial use. <br />Check with plumbing authority to see if internal buildings <br />reuse is permitted <br /> <br />☐ Revise ordinances to limit irrigation. Describe the <br />restricted irrigation plan: <br /> <br />☐ Revise outdoor irrigation installations codes to require <br />high efficiency systems (e.g. those with soil moisture <br />sensors or programmable watering areas) in new <br />installations or system replacements. <br /> <br />☐ Make water system infrastructure improvements <br />☐ Offer free or reduced cost water use audits) for residential <br />customers. <br /> <br />☐ Implement a notification system to inform customers <br />when water availability conditions change. <br />
