How many sewer connections does this system have?   8,904
How many water service connections with septic systems does this system have?   419
Are there plans to build or expand wastewater treatment facilities in the next 10 years?   No

All water meters do not have corresponding sewer connections; likewise there are sewer meters without a corresponding water connection. Additionally, there are irrigation (sprinkler) meters which would further skew the sewer connection and septic system totals.

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 84 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?   

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?  All major reports were prepared through the Lumber River COG. This includes the Regional Wastewater Feasibility Study for
blabem, Columbus, Hoke, Robesob, And Scotland Counties.

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:   Plant capacity is expandable to 32 MGD. Water Supply is not an issue at this time.System improvements will include upgrade of raw water pumping station, looping together of main water lines, and filter repairs.
