The average daily use of the institutional customers (2 churches at 0.00041 MGD) is too low to register in the data field. Also, LMAC has two industries that are connected to the system for fire protection only. These industries did not draw water from the system during 2002 and are not included in the total number of connections to avoid skewing the average usage of the customers who are regular water users.

Water sales contract with Scotland Co - North expires 2017. The contract is assumed to be renewed.

Wells not metered and therefore average daily and maximum day withdrawals are unknown. LMAC owns approximately 3,000 acres of land. Development of the land is controlled by the Commission. The Commission has not implemented a wellhead protection program because it controls land use around existing wells as well as the location of new wells.

LMAC has an agreement with Laurinburg to allow the purchase of water for emergency needs. There is no formal contract associated with this agreement and the connection is not metered.

LMAC has two finished water elevated storage tanks, one 100,000-gallon and one 500,000 gallon. The system also has two raw water clearwells, 280,000 gallons each. Phosphate is added at the clearwells and chlorine and caustic are added between the clearwell and the elevated storage tanks. There are two chemical feed treatment systems, the old system and the new system. These systems are identified above in the water treatment plant section. The capacity of the chemical feed systems exceeds the current available supply, which will allow for growth in the system.

The average daily discharge includes both the LMAC WWTP and the Laurel Hill WWTP.

The LMAC owns and operates two wastewater treatment facilities, the LMAC WWTP (NC0044725) and the Laurel Hill WWTP (NC0005476).

The goal of the LMAC is to foster industrial development in the area. The LMAC utility systems primarily serve industrial customers. A few residences have been served due to their proximity to the system, however there is no plan to extend service to additional residences. The purpose of the Laurinburg/Maxton Airport Commission is to encourage industrial growth in the area. The purpose of the LMAC water system is to provide water to new and existing industrial customers. Because of this, it is unlikey that additional residential customers will be connected to the system. Because the majority of the customers on the LMAC system are industrial, it can be difficult to accurately project future demands. Average daily industrial demand decreased from 1.137 MGD in 1997 to 1.05 MGD in 2002. It is likely that this decrease is due to the economic slowdowns impacting local industries. An average growth of 2.0% per year is used to estimate future demands on the LMAC system.

LMAC's average daily water demand will exceed 80% Demand as Percent of Supply by 2020. The authority owns approximatley 3,000 acres of land surrounding the airport facility; thereby providing adequate space for the installation of new wells as customer usage dictates.

LMAC's average daily water demand will exceed 80% Demand as Percent of Supply by 2020. As previously discussed, the goal of the LMAC is to foster industrial development in the area. Ensuring a reliable water supply is critical to retaining and attracting industrial and commercial development. The Commission has procedures to review demands and future needs. In addition, the Commission works with potential industries to ensure their utility needs can be met. The authority owns approximatley 3,000 acres of land surrounding the airport facility; thereby providing adequate space for the installation of new wells as customer usage dictates.
