SUBJECT:Co nservation Rate Struc ture
DATE:No vember 23, 2015
INTRODUCTION
At the Octo ber meeting, disc ussion related to o ur rate s tructure came up during open forum.
DISCUSSION
As the board has dis c us sed o n numero us oc c as ions , the sus tainab ility of the metro area water s upply is
b eing researc hed . In part this res earch was d riven by the s ituation at White Bear Lake. Ho wever, the
res earch has expand ed to includ e sus tainability o f the entire metro area water s upply. Several models have
p red icted that b as ed on the rate o f gro wth and the amo unt o f water currently being us ed p er c ap ita, water
s upply in the metro area may not be s ustainab le long-term. There are many o p tions to provid e a s ustainab le
water sup p ly and encouraging cons ervatio n is o ne p iece o f that puzzle.
One o f the main purp o s es of having a tiered rate s truc ture is to enc o urage water c o ns ervation (i.e. the more
water yo u use, the more expens ive the water bec o mes ). Ano ther way to look at this is that the water that you
use fo r everyd ay living (b athing/sho wering, flus hing to ilets, was hing clothes and dis hes , etc .) is c heaper than
the water you us e fo r other items that may no t b e c o ns idered nec es s ities (filling s wimming p o o ls , watering
lawns , washing vehicles , etc.).
In a typic al sc enario , you c an es timate the amount of water us ed for everyday living by looking at ho w muc h
water is used during the winter. This is b as ed o n the assump tion that water us ed during the winter is mostly
used fo r everyd ay living items and is no t b eing us ed o n s o me of the items mentio ned ab o ve. Staff has
lo o ked at the amo unt o f water that we p ump during the winter mo nths and c o mp ared that to the total water
p umped in a year. As you c an s ee on the attac hed s p read s heet, in 2014, we pump ed approximately 219
millio n gallons mo re water than it would have taken to sup p ly water for everyday need s . This ac counts fo r
32% of the water pump ed for the entire year.
To p ut it into pers pec tive, 219 millio n gallons is the amo unt o f water that it wo uld take to fill 332 Olympic
s ized swimming p o o ls , o r eno ugh water to p ro vide 1.2 millio n p eo p le with 8, eight-o unce glasses o f water
every day for an entire year. While there will always b e a need fo r water beyo nd that nec es s ary fo r everyd ay
life, s taff b elieves it is p rudent to lo o k at ways to enc o urage water cons ervation while at the same time
p ro viding the water that our c usto mers need/want. It is likely that in the future, regulatio ns will b e put in
p lace to req uire modific ations to the p er-cap ita water us age in the metro area, and to b e prepared fo r that,
s taff is encouraging dis c ussions at this p o int to id entify p o s s ib le optio ns to reduc e the average d aily p er-
capita demand.
