How much water was used for system processes (backwash, line cleaning, flushing, etc.)?   0.0290 MGD

Water use obtained from CCUC billing (Winston-Salem) and was the difference from main meter at Germanton entrance vault and where CCUC flushes within Germanton to maintain water quality. System process water includes the 14,000 gpd flushing from Winston-Salem as well as 15,000 gpd from Germanton flushing.

Water use in this system is quite low due to the small number of customers. Average residential use is 107 GPD and average commercial use is 190 GPD.

Population of Germanton estimated using the person per household statistics for the County (1.9 for this type of community) and knowing that the community has a significant number of single home dwellers.

Max day is not available. Average day use is taken from the CCUC billings. These billings are approximations for the water use of the month because the meter readings are taken near the middle of the month. After initial review of plan it appears that the monthly-metered water connections do not include the approximate 14,000 gpd from Winston-Salem flushing, just the amount for CCUC billing (purchased water).

The CCUC (from Winston-Salem) delivers more water to the Germanton system than they sell to it. This is to provide water that meets relevent guidelines for Germanton's first customer.

Population carried forward to 2030 from Census data, State/county projections and people per household data. Beyond 2030 the population is carried forward by extended the rate of growth in the previous 10 year period.Assumes that per customer use remains at 107 gallons per customer per day.

The process water has dropped to zero because the requirement to waste water within Germanton (not the CCUC Winston-Salem wasting) will be eliminated.

Unaccounted for water is assumed to be 20% of the residential use.

With minimal heavy commercial development in Germanton, commercial water use is estimated to be 25% of residential use.

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 51 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.    

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?   

The LWSP does not make accomodations for those systems that have a purchase agreement with no contract purchase amount. In the Germanton case they pay for the water that they consume. Given the small size of the community and the excess of water available to the water producer this arrangement is acceptable.

Additional Information

Has this system participated in regional water supply or water use planning?  Yes

What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning?  CCUC billing reports (Winston-Salem), MLP Construction billing 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:   Water quality became a pressing issue when a long dead end section of the system was opened up to allow for growth and development along NC 65 between Germanton and Walnut Cove. Their immediate solution to this problem was to initiate an immediate and ongoing flushing program. However this will be replaced by a CCUC flushing program which is required to provide adequate water quality at Germanton's first customer.
