Section 3<br />

Inventory of Major WWTPs and Potential <strong>Industrial</strong> Reuse Demands<br />

The Met Council database provides <strong>for</strong> a more detailed categorization of the<br />

industries, as shown in the legend <strong>for</strong> the Figure 3.19a. These industry categories are<br />

documented with subcategories in Appendix E. Figure 3.19a also identifies if the<br />

industry obtains its water from a municipal (potable) source or another source, which<br />

typically would be through a DNR appropriations permit. The other source could be<br />

ground water (well), surface water or a combination of both. The municipal<br />

designation was rolled up to include any industry that uses a municipal supply. An<br />

industry could also have another supply through a DNR appropriations permit.<br />

The Met Council database includes any discharger to the sewer system and the term<br />

‘industrial discharger’ covers a wide designation of industries. Some dischargers use<br />

little water, such as landfill leachate systems, and mainly collect and treat water <strong>for</strong><br />

discharge. The inventory assembled <strong>for</strong> this project includes only those industry<br />

categories that have a water demand. The Met Council <strong>Industrial</strong> Dischargers Permit<br />

database does not include all industries in the area, because some have their own<br />

treatment systems and discharge permits.<br />

The industries in the metro area discharging to the sewer system, as shown in Figure<br />

3.19b, had a combined water demand of 65 mgd in 2005. The largest water users were<br />

food industries, at 15 mgd, followed by the metal products industries at 10 mgd.<br />

<strong>Water</strong> used in the electronic products and paper/packaging industries and <strong>for</strong><br />

power/steam/air conditioning and health care facilities, all had category totals over 5<br />

mgd.<br />
