CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 15, 2004 Page 7 • ITEM 13 Director of Operations & Maintenance Don Volk presented a proposed resolution establishing a tiered water rate structure. He explained that population increases result in additional water usage, which results in the need for additional wells. The City's application for an amended water .appropriation permit from the Minnesota DNR became an issue in 2001. At that time, drought conditions raised well interference issues, and the City Council asked .residents to voluntarily conserve water. Those voluntary water conservation efforts were successful, and water consumption was significantly reduced. The DNR approved the City's water appropriation permit in 2002, with certain requirements. They included completion of a private well inventory, installation of three. observation wells, and preparation of a well interference. prevention plan. In October of 2003, the City Council adopted an amendment to the City Code establishing odd-even and time of day watering restrictions. In 2003, the need for Well.#17 resulted in a requirement by the DNR to complete another private well inventory and also to establish a tiered rate structure to help conserve water. Mr. Feller explained the proposed two-tier rate structure. The first tier of $.84 per thousand gallons is established for the first 30 thousand gallons of water per quarter; and the second tier of $1.00 per thousand gallons is .established for water consumed in excess of 30 thousand gallons per quarter. He explained that 30 thousand gallons is based on a typical winter household consumption. Commercial and industrial property will . be charged at the same rate as residential. The increased revenues would be appropriated to offset the costs of water infrastructure projects. The City Council was provided water conservation .public education materials previously reviewed at a recent Council work session: 04.42 Motion was made by Rieb, seconded by Bellows to approve Resolution No. 04-52 .approving a tiered water rate structure and implementation of a public education campaign for water conservation. Roll`call was taken on the motion. Ayes,. Rieb, Bellows, Johnson, Wulff.
