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 50 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.    Work with surface water supplier to increase purchased water contract amount. Maximize well usage based off permitted amounts.

Are there other demand management practices you will implement to reduce your future supply needs?    Public education about water conservation and more efficient fixtures and programs to help educate the consumers.

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   As for the future water capacity for the Town we have been working with the Wooten Company Engineering firm to come up with a plan to better provide water for the Town. We are looking into an additional elevated tank and bigger distribution lines as the town is growing rapidly. We are also looking at our purchase agreement with Greenville Utilities Commission to purchase more water in the future as demand increases. Wooten has all the numbers, and we meet regularly to look at the hydraulics and plan accordingly so to stay ahead of the increase in growth.

How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above?   N/A

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:   More staffing is needed to ensure proper flushing of the system and to keep up the demand of work orders for our growing system and aging infrastructure.
