Are ground water levels monitored?   Yes, Daily
Does this system have a wellhead protection program?   Yes

IWC is currently monitoring ground water levels at 16 wells. Levels are monitored continuously through the SCADA system.
Our Wellhead Protection Plan was most recently approved in 2021.

12-hour supply were all researched and updated to match 24-hour pump records on file. If no record of 24hr pump test was found, we used the approved yield recorded in NCDEQ Drinking Water Watch.

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 53 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?   In 2026 Iredell Water implemented a conservation-based rate structure.

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   Iredell Water Corporation is currently conducting a Water Treatment Plant Feasibility Study which should be completed in 2026. This study includes local stake holder meetings with surrounding utilities and will look at options of additional well supply, new surface treatment plant(s), and purchase sources and if /how we may partner with other local utilities to plan for future water supplies in our area.

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?  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:
