DRAFT Dec14-17 <br />for review only <br />Regulation Education and Information Programs Table 9-8 Current Education Programs <br />The City of Hugo has a number of regulations for shortterm reductions <br />in demand and longterm improvements in water efficiencies. The City <br />has a year-round odd/even water ban to help reduce peak demand <br />during summer months. A copy of the adopted regulation is included <br />in Appendix 9-10. In addition to the City regulations, there are a <br />number of mandated State and Federal Regulations that the City <br />enforces. These regulations include Minnesota Statute 103G.298 <br />requiring all automatically operated landscape irrigation systems to <br />have furnished and installed technology that inhibits or interrupts <br />operation of the landscape irrigation system during periods of sufficient <br />moisture. The technology must also be adjustable either by the end <br />user or the professional practitioner of landscape irrigation services. <br />The 1992 Federal Energy Policy Act established manufacturing <br />standards for water efficient plumbing fixtures, including toilets, urinals, <br />faucets, and aerators and is enforced with the City's building permit <br />and inspections department. <br />.0� <br />HL' 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE <br />The City of Hugo provides information on how to improve water use <br />efficiencies by a number of education methods throughout the year. <br />Information is, in general, provided at appropriate times to address <br />peak demands.
