Laurinburg does not have Industrial and Institutional separate from commercial. I did not change the industrial and institutional demand due to the fact that we have several industries within our city that have closed or are closing and only 1 new industry moving in.

Each new well installation has a projected yield of 400-600 gpm. For purposes of determining additional supply, the 12-hr supply was determined based on 400 gpm (well supply ranges from 400-600 gpm). It is also assumed each new well will not be on-line until the latest projected date.

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 62 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?   

Future plans for obtaining additional water supply before demand exceeds 80% of our current available supply are to obtain additional well sites as needed.

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?  The City of Laurinburg Water System Evaluation - May 1999

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:   Continue to purchase well sites for futre wells.
