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 96 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?   No Changes

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   No Changes

How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above?   No Changes

Additional Information

Has this system participated in regional water supply or water use planning?  Yes, The Town of Pine Knoll Shores is a part of the Central Coastal Plains Capacity Use. The Town of Pine Knoll Shores records water usage withdrawals daily, water draw down levels and chloride levels are recorded on a monthly basis. The Town of Pine knoll Shores monitors these items to ensure the aquifer is being utilized and protected in a safe manor.

What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning?  Guidance from such experts as Dr. Richard Sprull from East Carolina University. Dr. Richard Sprull is gathering important data from other water systems in the immediate surrounding area of the Crystal Coast. This information can be utilized in drilling new wells when the water is greatly needed.

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:
