ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD <br /> AGENDA ITEM 7B <br /> STAFF ORIGINATOR: Andy Nelson <br /> MEETING DATE: December 271h, 2023 <br /> REQUEST: Discussion only. <br /> TOPIC: Drive for 75, Water Conservation Initiative <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> In 2022, Lino Lakes residents used approximately 80 gallons of water per person per day. On <br /> average, Minnesota residents use 52 gallons per person per day. In an effort to conserve <br /> freshwater resources, the City has initiated the Drive for 75 outreach campaign that kicked off <br /> with an article in the winter newsletter. Drive for 75 sets a goal of 75 gallons per person per day, <br /> a goal that should be quite achievable with some good community teamwork. <br /> Staff is seeking feedback/brainstorming from the Environmental Board on options for <br /> encouraging water conservation. As residents, what strategies or outreach methods might <br /> encourage you to take an active role in conserving water? <br /> Water Use Categories <br /> Irrigation-based strategies: <br /> • smart irrigation controllers <br /> • smart watering practices (1 inch of water per week for lawns) <br /> • irrigation system audits <br /> • surface water reuse (rain barrels, ponds) <br /> • alternative turf grass types <br /> • drought-tolerant landscape plants <br /> Indoor use strategies: <br /> • EPA certified WaterSense products (showerheads, toilets, bathroom faucets) <br /> • modifying behaviors (length of time in shower, running full loads of dishes and laundry) <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL DIRECTION <br /> Discussion only. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> 1.
