Why is it Important to Conserve Water? <br />Water costs a great deal in energy and money to pump, move and purify. Water conservation will reduce costs to <br />the city's water system and reduce the need for expansions of pipes, wells and water storage. High water use com- <br />promises the city's ability to provide adequate and reliable public water supplies, water pressure, storage capacity, <br />and fire protection reserves. The city has experienced daily summer water demands that average four times the <br />daily winter use, and has gone as high as seven times the average daily winter use. <br />All cities in Minnesota with more than 1,000 in population are required by state law to develop water conservation <br />programs that must include an evaluation of the city's water rate structure, public education, and other measures to <br />assist residents and businesses with water conservation. The city has not met its goals set by the Minnesota Depart- <br />ment of Natural Resources, and must use a variety of methods to reduce water consumption. <br />Since much of the high summer demand can be attributed to lawn irrigation, the City of Lino Lakes has employed <br />other conservation measures, including lawn watering restrictions and a free rain sensor installation program. <br />Water Utility Rate Adjustment <br />Public Hearing <br />Monday, November 24 <br />6:30 p.m. <br />Lino Lakes City Hall Council Chambers <br />Do you have questions or concerns about the new Water Utility Rate structure?
