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 46 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?   Our demand as a percent of supply appears high due to the model utilizing the maximum contractual amount in our sales agreements. Our projections for actual sales through contracts will remain similar to current sales for the foreseeable future with growth being between 1-3%. Another consideration is our sales to Polk County (then to Inman Campobello Water District) could decrease given that ICWD is currently building their own WTP on the N Pacolet River.

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   BRWA along with Polk County and Inman Campobello Water District are currently working with an engineering firm to locate suitable property in Rutherford and/or Polk County along the Green River for a future potential raw water intake. Plans are to jointly purchase property over the next 5 years.

How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above?   Master Plan completed in 2023 evaluated major projects included in our CIP which were determined by our Asset Management Plan. Engineering Design is complete for WTP and Poors Ford pump station for upgrades to achieve firm capacity/ redundancy at 12 MGD and increased capacity to full withdraw of 13.1 MGD. Project will bid Spring 2026. Funding application submitted for SRF program. If not funded, BRWA would borrow funds either public or private placement.

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:   BRWA has no identified deficiencies or needed improvements at this time outside of projects already underway.
