Regarding increase in projected system process water demand -- our flushing program is very limited due to staffing compared to our system size and has taken a toll on some of the older system. With a growing system and additional staff, we will have a better flushing program as we maintain our assets and "operate" our distribution system. We hope to build up enough staff to flush during the annual conversion from chloramines to chlorine.

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 49 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?   Best management practices with developers and EPA water sense. Best practices for future reuse options.

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   Those expansions with current providers.

How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above?   Education on best management practices and future technologies. We'll consider all resources available.

Additional Information

Has this system participated in regional water supply or water use planning?  Yes, Yes, looking at regional options with Sanford, Holly Springs, and Pittsboro, the Triangle Water Partnership, and Wake County One Water.

What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning?  Continue working on IBT and OASIS modeling.

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:   The department and system is growing with development. We will use best management practices and sources from AWWA, WEF, EPA, NCDEQ, UNC Finance, NC League, etc..
