The purpose of the above chart is to show a general indication of how the long-term per capita water demand changes over time. The per capita water demand may actually be different than indicated due to seasonal populations and the accuracy of data submitted. Water systems that have calculated long-term per capita water demand based on a methodology that produces different results may submit their information in the notes field.
Your long-term water demand is 62 gallons per capita per day. What demand management practices do you plan to implement to reduce the per capita water demand (i.e. conduct regular water audits, implement a plumbing retrofit program, employ practices such as rainwater harvesting or reclaimed water)? If these practices are covered elsewhere in your plan, indicate where the practices are discussed here.
No Changes
Are there other demand management practices you will implement to reduce your future supply needs? The City of Belmont partners with the Catawba Wateree Water Management Group to monitor water management throughout the basin. Belmont keeps current records of water audits of the plant (system processes) and categorical use throughout the city to account for as much water as possible. The city continues to replace water meters to give a more accurate account of water use in the system. Belmont also continues to plan to identify and replace the oldest and most problematic lines that are most likely to leak. Other methods that may be used in the future are evaluated as part of the budget process and are set as goals to be achieved.
What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs? N/A
How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above? The City of Belmont will continue to implement plans and policies from the CWWMG.
Additional Information
Has this system participated in regional water supply or water use planning? Yes, Yes, Belmont partners with the Catawba Wateree Water Management Group.
What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning? See the Water Supply Master Plan on the CWWMG website. The CWWMG conducts programs to monitor both water quality and quantity in the Catawba Wateree basis and has a subcommittee for drought management.
Please describe any other needs or issues regarding your water supply sources, any water system deficiencies or needed improvements (storage, treatment, etc.) or your ability to meet present and future water needs. Include both quantity and quality considerations, as well as financial, technical, managerial, permitting, and compliance issues: At this time there are no issues with meeting demand on the amount of water needed and we currently have no compliance issues.
