St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 8: Water Supply <br />167 <br /> <br />Allocation and Demand Reduction Procedures and Triggers <br />The City must prepare procedures to address gradual decreases in water <br />supply, as well as emergencies and the sudden loss of water due to line <br />breaks, power failures, sabotage, etc. These allocation and demand <br />reduction procedures must be consistent with Minnesota State Statute <br />103G.261, that identifies and defines the priorities in which water usage will <br />be allocated in the event of an emergency. They are defined as follows: <br />1. Domestic water supply only, excluding industrial and commercial <br />uses of municipal water supply. The first priority also includes <br />uses for power production that meet contingency requirements. <br />Domestic use is defined by MN Rules 6115.0630, Subp. 9, as use <br />for general household purposes for human needs such as <br />cooking, cleaning, drinking, washing, and waste disposal, and <br />uses for on-farm livestock watering excluding commercial <br />livestock operations which use more than 10,000 gallons per day <br />or one million gallons per year. <br />2. Consumption of less than 10,000 gallons per day (usually from <br />private wells or surface water intakes). <br />3. Agricultural irrigation and processing of agricultural products of <br />more than 10,000 gallons per day. <br />4. Power production in excess of the use provided for in the <br />contingency plan. <br />5. All other water use of more than 10,000 gallons per day. <br />6. Non-essential uses. These uses are defined by Minnesota <br />Statutes 103G.291 as lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf <br />course and park irrigation, and other non-essential uses. <br />
