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 33 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 the future, we may consider implementing water-use restrictions during peak flow in summer months by adopting restrictions similar to our Stage 2 drought restrictions, giving certain time frames for high-consumption activities such as lawn watering, pool filling, etc.

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   NONE

How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above?   To implement these restrictions, we would have to increase our print budget to send inserts with our April bills, notating that these restrictions will begin on the first day of May in the referenced year. Additionally, we would make this information available on our webpage and social media pages via our County Public Information Officer. These guidelines would be enforced in conjunction with our County law enforcement officers, and we would monitor consumption through our monthly reading system.

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:
