<br /> 14 <br /> <br />Peak Demands (calculate average ratio for last five years using data from Table 1) <br />Average maximum day to average day ratio 2.72 <br />If peak demands exceed a ratio of 2.6, describe the goals for lowering peak demands. <br />Initiating a new watering policy. See Attachment C The City will also track maximum water <br />consumed vs. maximum water pumped, this will eliminate catch up pumping. <br /> <br /> <br />B. Water Conservation Programs. Describe all short-term conservation measures that are <br />available for use in an emergency and long-term measures to improve water use efficiencies <br />for each of the six conservation program elements listed below. Short-term demand reduction <br />measures must be included in the emergency response procedures and must be in support of, <br />and part of, a community all-hazard emergency operation plan. <br /> <br />1. Metering. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) recommends that every <br />water utility meter all water taken into its system and all water distributed from its system <br />at its customer’s point of service. An effective metering program relies upon periodic <br />performance testing, repair, repair and maintenance of all meters. AWWA also <br />recommends that utilities conduct regular water audits to ensure accountability. <br /> Complete Table 10 (A) regarding the number and maintenance of customer meters. <br /> <br />TABLE 10 (A) Customer Meters <br /> Number of <br />Connections <br />Number of <br />Metered <br />Connections <br />Meter testing <br />schedule (years) <br />Average age/meter <br />replacement schedule <br />(years) <br />Residential 3038 3038 None 11 / ? <br />Institutional 12 12 None 11 / ? <br />Commercial 89 89 None 11 / ? <br />Industrial 20 20 None 11 / ? <br />Public <br />Facilities <br />22 22 None 11 / ? <br />Irrigation and <br />Churches <br />34 34 None 11 / ? <br />TOTALS 3215 3215 <br /> <br />The City does perform random testing of residential water meters, but there is no scheduled <br />testing. <br /> <br />Unmetered Systems. Provide an estimate of the cost to install meters and the projected water <br />savings from metering water use. Also indicate any plans to install meters. <br />The City of Mounds View is a fully metered system except hydrants which there is no plan to <br />meter water use from. <br /> <br /> <br />TABLE 10 (B) Water Source Meters <br /> Number of Meter testing Average age/meter replacement
