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 38 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.    The demand as Percent of Supply should be adequate for the long-term water demand until 2060. The district will be able to renegotiate an agreement with the Water Authority to supply 150,000 gpd or more, after the current contract expires in 2055.

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?    MCWSDI is a member entity of the Martin County Regional Water and Sewer Authority. The MCRWASA WTP was designed for 2.0 MCD with an estimated average daily demand of 149,000 gpd for District 1. Contracted purchases are adjusted on July 1 of each year to match the "Full Water Requirements" of each member for the previous calendar year. Additional water may be contracted to purchase as needed in future years. The WTP could be expanded to 6.0 MGD to meet future demands of the member entities. If this 149,000 gpd supply is added back into the projections for 2060 and 2070, then the projected 'Demand as Percent of Supply will decrease well below 70%.

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

Additional Information

Has this system participated in regional water supply or water use planning?  Yes, Yes, Martin County Water Districts 1 and 2 are members of the Martin County. Regional Water and Sewer Authority, which constructed a transfer line interconnection between the Town of Robersonville Water System and the Town of Williamston. a new well in the District 1 area with a projected capacity of 350 gpm to supply Martin County Water District 1, (online in 2016), and a 2.0 MGD. Surface Water Treatment Plant with withdrawal from the Roanoke River to supply water to Martin County Water District 2 (online 2016).

What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning?  The Wooten company completed "The Martin County Water Resources Plan" in March of 2005 which addressed future water needs of Martin County.

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:
