Regarding the demand-to-supply ratio of 80 percent by 2050, Aberdeen indicates it could reduce demands by reducing the amount of water sales to bulk customers.

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 64 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.    We currently are in the process of replacing all of our SCADA system operational control panels at all wells and tanks to reduce system failures and missed calls to shut down or start. The reason our max day use numbers are high will be due to slow communication response times between the well & main scada PC. An example is when the controller sends the command to a well to shut off, it doesn't respond and will remain running until a operator notices this or a tank goes into high water alarm.

Are there other demand management practices you will implement to reduce your future supply needs?   Continue educating public on conservating irrigation water practices and identifying capital improvement projects to replace aging infrastructure.Our AMI system provides leak alerts to customers as they occur and our staff every 12 hrs. Continue promoting our my water advisor app and requesting all residents to sign up.

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   Developing future supply wells to meet future needs, along with implementing additional treatment equipment as needed to increase longevity of current supply. We plan to drill two test wells in FY 26.

How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above?   Reduce amount of water sales to bulk customers and reduce unaccounted for water loss.

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?  The Town's Water System AIA will be complete in FY 25-26 to identify system conditions and capital improvement projects.

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:
