How much water was used for system processes (backwash, line cleaning, flushing, etc.)?   0.0530 MGD

Our process water totals have increased as compared to previous years. This is in an attempt to increase chlorine residuals and improve overall water quality. Historically the Town never accurately metered this data and provided rough estimated numbers for the purpose of the plan. Flushing data for 2024 was determined by closely estimating the flow / gpm from multiple 3/4" meters that flush 24/7/365 and multiple hydrants throughout the system that are flushed weekly at a predetermined amount of flow / gpm each month. The Town is actively working towards metering more of its flushing totals and keeping a running total for process control, water loss %, and LWSP purposes.

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 28 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, CCPCUA

What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning?  CCPCUA

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:   Pink Hill needs a SCADA monitoring system on the Pinewood Elevated Tank, altitude valves installed at the base of both elevated tanks, a new motor and shaft at the well, a remote monitoring system to monitor chemicals at the well site, and treatment capabilities at the interconnection with Neuse Regional Water and Sewer Authority. This will help reduce flushing and enable operators to monitor system conditions 24/7/365. Currently, there is no way to fill up the Broadway elevated tank without isolating the Pinewood elevated tank. The elevations are off.
