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 53 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.    1. Conduct regular water audits;
2. We have procurred an AMI water meter system and it will be installed in the first quarter of 2025. This water meter system will allow us to detect leaks much sooner and will reduce unaccounted for water due to failing water meters.
3. Provide education to residents in the form of quarterly newsletter, CCR, Town's website and Facebook page.

Are there other demand management practices you will implement to reduce your future supply needs?   Rate studies and increase public awareness of ways to save water as mentioned above.

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   We are exploring our options of a dedicated interconnection with a neighboring water system to be used primarily as an emergency but would be available if future demand required it.

How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above?   Using our retained engineering fund to seek and apply for grants.

Additional Information

Has this system participated in regional water supply or water use planning?  No

What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning?  Utility Pre-Billing Reports, Water meter readings, WTP eMOR Reports and WWTP eDMR Reports

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:   Additional I/I studies and repair assistance, Water pressure studies, and improved mapping of distribution lines. Grants for replacing lead gooseneck and galvanized lines.
