Water purchased from Montgomery County for the year of 2024 was determined on the reading of two separate meters. One of the larger meters has been broken for over a year so the amount of water purchased from Montgomery County for the Year of 2024 is around 80 to 90 percent estimated. Therefore, the amount metered through residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional is expected to be incomparable to the amount purchased from Montgomery County

Increased the purchase contract from Montgomery County to 0.2700 MGD to meet projected system demands.

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?   Reducing the amount of flushing to decrease byproducts.

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   Additional entry points from Montgomery County

How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above?   The Town of Candor has received a grant to upgrade all 4-inch water mains to 6-inch water mains with the addition of connecting to another entry point from Montgomery County to supply more water.

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?  

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:
