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 42 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.
We are working in discussion with the City of Albemarle to increase the water sales contract. They are currently waiting on the City of Concord to commit to a 5MGD purchase so construction on the new intake structure can be sized for all future needs. Discussion are ongoing and Stanly County is working on other options such as the construction of our own Water Treatment Facility on Badin Lake.
Are there other demand management practices you will implement to reduce your future supply needs? We are actively replacing water meters in increase revenues and account for all water used. We actively tracking leaks in the GIS System and utilize testing to confirm water leaks are occurring in the system. We have approached the Town of Norwood about DBP level in the water supply and have petitioned them to better treat the water supply in order to reduce the need to excessive flushing of water mains.
What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs? We have the option to pursue constructing a new water treatment facility on Badin Lake.
How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above? We are in the process of completing a new water master plan this coming year which will better address these issues.
Additional Information
Has this system participated in regional water supply or water use planning? Yes, We have participated in the Yadkin River Basin Association Meetings,
What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning?
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:
