Local Water Supply Plan Template —December 8, 2015 <br />5. All other water use involving consumption of more than 10,000 gallons per day. <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 />Table 18.

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 />Complete Table 19 by selecting the triggers and actions during water supply disruption conditions. <br />26 <br />
