Water Supply Firm Capacity: 96.910 MGD Available Water Supply Limits
Water Demand
Water Supply Deficit or Surplus
Note: Negative values (a deficit) indicate a shortfall in firm capacity and/or diversion privileges or available supplies through bulk purchase agreements. Bureau of Water System and Engineering Comments: Bureau of Water Allocation and Well Permitting Comments: For more information concerning water supply deficit and surplus, please refer to:
Questions regarding demands and firm capacity please contact the Bureau of Water System and Engineering at 609-292-2957 or for questions concerning water allocation and status please contact the Bureau of Water Allocation and Well Permitting at 609-984-6831. Questions may also be sent to the Division of Water Supply and Geoscience Allocation Limit: The maximum allowed by a valid Water Allocation Permit or Water Use Registration issued by the Bureau of Water Allocation and Well Permitting. This may be surface or ground water, and may be expressed in MGD, MGM, MGY or some combination thereof. Withdrawals may also be limited by other factors and have seasonal or other restrictions such as passing flow requirements. Committed Peak Demand: The demand associated with projects that have been approved for ultimate connection to the system, but are not yet constructed as indicated through the submission of construction certifications or certificates of occupancy. This is calculated by totaling the demand as included in Water Main Extension (WME) permits and the demand associated with projects not requiring a WME permit. This field may also include bulk sale contractual obigations. For various review purposes this quantity may be represented as MGD, MGM and/or MGY. Contract Limit: Purchased water, where regulated by an approved service contract, will be included in the overall allocation quantity where appropriate. Contracts may exist with minimum, maximum, seasonal or other restrictions. In some instances, the value is an estimate, not an exact limit. Current Peak Demand: This is the average day of the highest recorded demand month occurring within the last five (5) years. (For the purpose of this table, the calculation for current peak demand was based on 31 days. Systems will be reviewed on an individual basis.) This includes water from a system's own sources and all other sources of water (i.e. purchased water). This field may also include bulk sale contractual obigations. Firm Capacity: Adequate pumping equipment and/or treatment capacity (excluding coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation) to meet peak daily demand, when the largest pumping unit or treatment unit is out of service. The value is represented in MGD. Firm Capacity Deficit or Surplus = (Firm Capacity - Total Peak Daily Demand): The difference between the Firm Capacity and the sum of the peak daily demand and committed daily demand. This is a measure of the physical ability to provide treated water at adequate pressure when the largest pumping unit or treatment unit is out of service. Negative values indicate a shortfall in Firm Capacity. Total Peak Water Demand: The sum of the public water system's current peak demand and committed peak demand. The value is represented in MGD, MGM, and MGY. Total Available Water Supply: The sum of the Allocation Limit and Contract Limit. This value is represented in MGM and MGY. Water
Supply Deficit or Surplus = (Total Water Allocation
Permit Limit- Total Peak Demand): The monthly
and/or annual limitations of an Allocation Permit or Water Use Registration
minus the sum of the monthly and/or annual demands
recorded based on the water use records plus the
monthly and/or annual demand projected for approved
but not yet constructed projects. Negative values
indicate a shortfall in diversion privileges or
available supplies through bulk purchase agreements. |
