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 57 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 MVSD has installed AMR's for residential meters as well as 80% of the commercial meters that has allowed quicker response time to the customers for any leaks or more than usual water consumption.

Are there other demand management practices you will implement to reduce your future supply needs?   Replacing older water mains in our system.

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   Implementing wells in our system

How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above?   Updated our CIP plan as well as keeping our Board of Directors engaged with future planning.

Additional Information

Has this system participated in regional water supply or water use planning?  Yes, MVSD and all other water systems in Haywood County are continuing with on-going meetings to look into future Source water needs and reliability of existing interconnections.

What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning?  MVSD stream studies by Fish and Wildlife Association and McGuill Associates study of local water supplies

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:   MVSD continues to work on acquiring property to protect water shed for the MVSD. Currently the District ownes 7710 acres in the water shed. We will continue to build relationships with property owners within the water shed to preserve the land and water.
