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 37 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?   The City of Oxford does a water audit every three to five years.

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   Kerr Lake Regional water plant expansion is currently under construction.

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, An inter basin transfer study was done in 2015 KLRWS for Henderson, Oxford and Warren County for an increase in the withdrawal allowed from Kerr Lake from 10mgd to 20mgd. There will be a new study done in the next few years. The plant expansion is currently still under construction. At the completion Oxford will receive 2mgd more.

What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning?  Kerr Lake Regional water study by CH2M Hill. The city completed an assessment plan and a 10-year CIP plan.

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:   Over the past 9 years the city has replaced miles of water lines and currently has new projects that are going out for bid very soon.
