The chart below indicates the highest consumption occurs in the third <br />and fourth blocks. <br />Volume Used in Proposed Blocks <br />0 - 15,000 <br />10.31% <br />15,001 - 30,000 <br />21.45% <br />30,001 - 79,000 <br />29.76% <br />79,001 - 499,000 <br />24.59% <br />> 499,000 <br />13.89% <br />Total Volume <br />100.00% <br />City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota.
