Water Conservation <br />Water conservation programs are intended to reduce demand for <br />water, improve the efficiency in its use, and reduce the loss and waste <br />of water. Longterm conservation measures that improve overall water <br />use efficiencies can help reduce the need for short-term conservation <br />measures. Water conservation is an important part of water <br />resource management and can also help utility managers satisfy the <br />everincreasing demands being placed on water resources. <br />Minnesota Statutes 103G.291 requires public water suppliers to <br />implement demand reduction measures before seeking approval to <br />construct new wells or increase their authorized volumes of water. <br />Minnesota Rules 6115.0770, require water users to employ the best <br />available means and practices to promote the efficient use of water. <br />Conservation programs can be cost effective when compared to <br />the generally higher costs of developing new sources of supply or <br />expanding water and/or wastewater treatment plant capacities. <br />S •�L 1 r �- <br />�• �rJ • }L• 1, M <br />•rs <br />;..
