Currently, the City does not track water use category for the individual County water customers. The County has a single billing class and therefore has had no need to track the usage class type. In submitting the County LWSPs, all water use was placed under the “residential” category since most of the customers are residential, but there are other water using customer classes such as commercial or institutional. All connection types are shown as residential. The fact that commercial and institutional uses are included in the residential demand results in inflating the average per capita residential demand. System process water used for maintenance and testing is estimated at 3,000 gpd.

Contract renewed annually, no contract maximum, 0.600 MGD was added so that the demand was below 80% of supply through 2050. Per email from James Croke (ORC with the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport), the supplier confirms that they have excess capacity to supply the 0.600 MGD to the system.

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 144 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?   None

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?  No

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

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:   None
