Local Water Supply Plan Template July 8, 2016 <br /> Water used for human needs at hospitals, nursing homes and similar types of facilities should <br /> be designated as a high priority to be maintained in an emergency. Lower priority uses will <br /> need to address water used for human needs at other types of facilities such as hotels, office <br /> buildings, and manufacturing plants. The volume of water and other types of water uses at <br /> these facilities must be carefully considered. After reviewing the data, common sense should <br /> dictate local allocation priorities to protect domestic requirements over certain types of <br /> economic needs. Water use for lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf courses, and recreation <br /> are legislatively considered non-essential. <br /> Table 18.Water use priorities <br /> Customer Category Allocation Priority Average Daily Demand Short-Term Emergency <br /> (GDP) Demand Reduction <br /> Potential(GPD) <br /> Residential 1 1,810,000 1,086,000 <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 <br /> between maximum use (summer demand) and base use (winter demand). In extreme <br /> emergency situations, lower priority water uses must be restricted or eliminated to protect <br /> priority domestic water requirements. Emergency demand reduction potential should be based <br /> on average day demands for customer categories within each priority class. Use the tables in <br /> Part 3 on water conservation to help you determine strategies. <br /> Complete Table 19 by selecting the triggers and actions during water supply disruption <br /> conditions. <br /> 32 <br />
