Local Water Supply Plan Template –July 8, 2016 <br /> <br />25 <br /> <br />6. Nonessential uses – car washes, golf courses, etc. <br />Water used for human needs at hospitals, nursing homes and similar types of facilities should be <br />designated as a high priority to be maintained in an emergency. Lower priority uses will need to address <br />water used for human needs at other types of facilities such as hotels, office buildings, and <br />manufacturing plants. The volume of water and other types of water uses at these facilities must be <br />carefully considered. After reviewing the data, common sense should dictate local allocation priorities to <br />protect domestic requirements over certain types of economic needs. Water use for lawn sprinkling, <br />vehicle washing, golf courses, and recreation are legislatively considered non-essential. <br />Table 18. Water use priorities <br />Customer Category Allocation Priority <br /> <br />Average Daily Demand <br />(GDP) <br />Short-Term Emergency <br />Demand Reduction <br />Potential (GPD) <br />Residential 1 440,900 <br />C/I/I 2 480,200 <br />Non-Essential 3 177,200* <br />TOTAL NA NA 177,200* <br />GPD – Gallons per Day; *Non-essential calculated as increased summer demand between all customer categories <br />Tip: Calculating Emergency Demand Reduction Potential <br />The emergency demand reduction potential for all uses will typically equal the difference between <br />maximum use (summer demand) and base use (winter demand). In extreme emergency situations, <br />lower priority water uses must be restricted or eliminated to protect priority domestic water <br />requirements. Emergency demand reduction potential should be based on average day demands for <br />customer categories within each priority class. Use the tables in Part 3 on water conservation to help <br />you determine strategies. <br />Complete Table 19 by selecting the triggers and actions during water supply disruption conditions. <br />Table 19.
