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 45 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.    Water conservation efforts
Irrigation Scheduling
Tiered Irrigation rates
Aquifer Storage and Recovery Wells
Public Education
Water audits

Are there other demand management practices you will implement to reduce your future supply needs?   Water conservation efforts
Irrigation scheduling
Tiered Irrigation rates
Aquifer Storage Recovery Wells
Public Education
Water audits

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   Additional Well sites 6,7,8,9,10,11,12
Aquifer Storage and Recovery Wells
Plant Expansion

How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above?   Constant evaluation of water supply. Working with Engineer's and Geologist to monitor water supply and plan future expansions of supply and treatment capabilities accordingly.

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:
