Demand projections (2010-2030) based on peak usage for summer months of June, July, and August (0.920 mgd) and the seasonal population provided. Ocean Isle Beach's average daily water demands will exceed 80% Demand as Percent of Supply by 2010. As of this time, a specific plan to address the demand exceedance has not been submitted.

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 967 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?   

Demand projections (2010-2030) based on peak usage for summer months of June, July, and August (0.920 mgd) and the seasonal population provided. Ocean Isle Beach's average daily water demands will exceed 80% Demand as Percent of Supply by 2010. As of this time, a specific plan to address the demand exceedance has not been submitted.
