Demand v/s Percent of Supply

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 44 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?   The demand to supply ratio inthe Lower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority (LCFWSA)-Kings Bluff Local Water Supply Plan (LWSP) is currently above 80% because the available raw water supply is fully allocated to the existing customers and partners (Brunswick County, Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, and Pender County). Based on a 7Q10 calculation, the total available supply for the system is 106 MGD at Lock and Dam No. 1. Even so, the currently projected demands of all partners- when totaled remain below 80% of the available raw water supply for the foressable future (2070). Futhermore, all the partners have agreed no to exceed the demands currently projected in their LWSP, without notice to NCDWR, even though these amounts may remain less than what LCFWSA - King's Bluff is obligated to supply ration in the LCFWSA Kings' Bluff LWSP exceeds 80%, a long term water supply plan to address future demands whould be needed per statutory requirements, before NCDWR could approve LWSP

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:   The Division of Water Resources (DWR) provides the data contained within the Local Water Supply Plan (LWSP) as a courtesy and service to our customers. DWR staff does not field verify data. Neither DWR, nor any other party involved in the preparation of this LWSP attests that the data is completely free of errors and omissions. Furthermore, data users are cautioned that LWSPs labeled PROVISIONAL have yet to be reviewed by DWR staff. Subsequent review may result in significant revision.
