District II was brought on-line in July 2002. Some numbers are estimated. After initial review of plan and further discussion it appears there may be an error between monthly-metered water connections and the amount of water withdrawn which cannot be discerned due to estimation of values in the plan and unknown amounts of excess water blow off/line flushing which was necessary in 2002.

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 80 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?   

A lot of change is not anticipated in District II. This is a new system with adequate wells to last.

Additional Information

Has this system participated in regional water supply or water use planning?  Yes

What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning?  Hobbs & Upchurch - McKim & Creed and Green Engineering.

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:
