According to a 1997 study conducted by the Bissell Professional Group, the Town will reach buildout by the year 2022. The seasonal population estimate currently is eight times the year round population. Growth estimates are calculated based on state population data provided and data from previous plan review.According to the Water System Master Plan conducted in 2002 by The Wooten Company Kill Devil Hills is at 73% buildout. At the current rate of development buildout will be reached in 2022. No major redevelopment exists other than smaller homes being replaced by newer upscale rental homes. Demand projections were based on the Average Daily Demand for peak months of May, June, and July 2002 (1.785 mgd) and the seasonal population.

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 143 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 were based on the Average Daily Demand for peak months of May, June, and July 2002 (1.785 mgd) and the seasonal population. As stated in the purchase contract agreement with Dare County Regional, in the event that the system is producing ninety percent of its capacity on two consecutive days in the previous twelve months or if Kill Devil Hills exceeds their allocated amount of water on two consecutive days in the previous twelve month period, Dare County Regional shall immediately begin work to expand the production system, in not less than one million gallon per day increments.
