Section 3 - Water System Contingencies & Priorities Water Usage This section establishes water usage within our service area and assigns the prioritization and best use of our water system resources during an emergency to maintain effective operation*. Using high, medium or low, the chart below establishes the priority given to each use, our assessment of the water needed, and the method of sustaining the use. System Capacity: _____________ million gallons per day (MGD) % purchased: _____________ Demand (MGD) 2015 2016 2017 Average Daily Maximum Daily Peak Daily *The Department considers effective operation as a system’s ability to meet average daily demand while providing sufficient volume and pressure for fire protection, where applicable, while meeting drinking water quality standards. Prioritization Use Category Priority (High, Medium, Low) Daily Water Demand (MGD) Method of Sustaining Use / Emergency Contingencies Beyond Standard Response Fire Protection Sanitary Industrial/Commercial Potable (cooking, drinking, hygiene) Sensitive Populations EXAMPLE Hospitals HIGH .06 MGD Direct supply by tankers if necessary Other (i.e. Bulk Sales)
