What are the estimated total miles of distribution system lines?   172 Miles
How many feet of distribution lines were replaced during 2024?   785 Feet
How many feet of new water mains were added during 2024?   -35 Feet
How many meters were replaced in 2024?   136
How old are the oldest meters in this system?   57 Year(s)
How many meters for outdoor water use, such as irrigation, are not billed for sewer services?   360
What is this system's finished water storage capacity?   10.2250 Million Gallons
Has water pressure been inadequate in any part of the system since last update? Line breaks that were repaired quickly should not be included.   No

The negative number for the answer "How many feet of new lines were added during 2024?" comes from where we were able to kill out sections of 2" galvanized after other sections were replaced.

Programs
Does this system have a program to work or flush hydrants?   Yes, Semi-Annually
Does this system have a valve exercise program?   No, As Needed
Does this system have a cross-connection program?   Yes
Does this system have a program to replace meters?   Yes
Does this system have a plumbing retrofit program?   No
Does this system have an active water conservation public education program?   No
Does this system have a leak detection program?   Yes

Leak Detection equipment, leak correlators, are used to identify sources of water loss.

Water Conservation
What type of rate structure is used?   Uniform
How much reclaimed water does this system use?   0.0000 MGD   For how many connections?   0
Does this system have an interconnection with another system capable of providing water in an emergency?   No

The City of Eden does not have an interconnection that could supply water back to the City's system. Wholesale to Dan River Water Inc. have an interconnection to Mayodan, NC such that in an emergency they may be able to lessen their demand on our resources. Eden is bounded by the Virginia State line to the North and the West, South and East by the Dan River for four miles or more. The county and the local municipalities have participated in meetings regarding interconnects, but funding due to the engineering feasibility studies have been limited and no progress has been made.

How much water was used for system processes (backwash, line cleaning, flushing, etc.)?   0.7200 MGD

Some of the meters for the city facilities and parks were located and read. Other were estimated. This is included in the institutional. The high number of institutional connections are due to how the city finance department classifies connections. An example would be 7 connections for the high school (separate building, ball field, activity fields, etc.) The high use for the process water includes the washdown of storage tanks, basin cleaning, valve replacements at water plant and 24-hour automatic flushing units in the distribution system. The high non-metered estimate includes water running into railroad pump station because of the shut-down of industry in that area, and high volume of water main breaks during the cold months.

The City of Eden is in the process of converting from a mechanical aeration basin to a diffused air basin. We are also in the process of converting from feeding chlorine gas to feeding Sodium Hypochlorite. Both of these projects are in the beginning stages but hope to be completed well within the next ten years.

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.    No Changes

Are there other demand management practices you will implement to reduce your future supply needs?   

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   

How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above?   

Additional Information

Has this system participated in regional water supply or water use planning?  Yes, The City of Eden Water System is participating in regional planning, working with Pittsylvania County and Danville, Virginia on a regional Mega Park in Virginia within 5 miles from the Eden City limits. The Mega Park is recruiting Industrial users for the 3500-acre site. Eden is to supply 6.5 MGD of water and treat up to 3 MGD of wastewater from the site.

What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning?  Eden is currently working with a water demand of around 17% of capacity. Eden has lost industrial clients who closed their businesses over the last ten years that amount to 7.7MGD of water demand. Dewberry Engineering has been working with us on doing this project and planning any system changes that will be required for the Mega Park.

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:   None at this time.
