Local Water Supply Plan Template —March 2016 <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 />Residential 1 <br />Institutional <br />Commercial <br />Industrial <br />Irrigation <br />Wholesale <br />Non -Essential 6 <br />TOTAL NA NA <br />GPD — Gallons per Day <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 />23 <br />57 <br />
