RA&MD W <br />R061114T L. GUNN <br />Cow%ty Afforngy <br />Phones (010) W-620 <br />In response to your request I am providing additional information <br />concQrning our request for a supplemental water supply from <br />Effective this summer, Chatham County will have a total daily <br />supply availability of 865,000 gallons, 500,000 gpd from the <br />water plant and the remaining 365,000 gpd from seven (7) wells in <br />the North Chatham area. Our current average day demand is <br />294,975 gallons, while the peak day event is 480,420 gallons. <br />In addition to the Supply and demand conditions, Chatham County <br />expects to have a 1.1 million gallon storage tank operational by <br />the fall of 1992. The overflow elevation on this tank will be <br />+ -740.0 once Completely filled. The size of this tank provides <br />over three days storage, based upon normal demand. The North <br />Chatham system has a factor of safety of 1.8 between the peak day <br />event and supply availability. However, based upon an additional <br />900+ vacant lots in the North Chatham system already permitted <br />for public water supply, the State water Supply section has taken <br />a more restrictive posture. Based upon their interpretation of <br />the 400 gpd /350 gpd per dwelling and vacant lot rule, Chatham <br />County currently needs over 900,000 gpd supply availability. <br />If a mid -term supply agreement can be achieved, it is Chatham <br />County's desire to have a water plant near Lake Jordan <br />
