<br />Figure 2 shows the community locations: the index lists the <br />communities by counties, which are listed alphabetically. <br /> <br />Definitions. Abbreviations. and Symbols <br /> <br />Some of the terms, phrases, and abbreviations used in the <br />report may not be familiar to all readers. The following list <br />defines those not defined elsewhere in the report: <br /> <br />Ownership: The term refers to ownership of the distribution <br />system. It also refers to the ownership of facilities at <br />the source and between the source and distribution system <br />unless otherwise indicated under the heading "Source". <br />"Individual facilities" means that generally each resident <br />has his own source of supply, commonly a well: it also <br />indicates that there is no community-wide distribution <br />system. <br /> <br />Source: The term "intake" refers to the point at which the <br />surface-water source enters the community-owned pipeline <br />system. It may be in a ditch, reservoir, or stream. <br /> <br />Storage: The capacity of reservoirs refers only to that owned <br />or controlled by the city. In some cases, it refers to <br />part of the storage capacity of a large reservoir, the part <br />to which the community has rights. Storage facilities that <br />supply pressure to the distribution system are shown as <br />"elevated". "Other" refers to storage unrelated to the <br />pressure system. If the system has no "elevated" storage, <br />the storage is referred to as "qround" storage. <br /> <br />Abbreviations: est, estimated: gpd, gallons per day: gpm, gallons <br />per minute: mg, million gallons: mgd, million gallons per <br />day~ ppm, parts per million: and psi, pounds per square inch. <br /> <br />Accuracy of Records <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Certain of the data in this report are estimates based on <br />projections of measured and reported information. Such data, <br />in some cases, may not be accurate but, in general, the estimates <br />are the best available. For some communities, estimates of per <br />capita consumption are based on two other estimates: those of <br />water deliveries and population served. The statewide estimate <br />of per capita consumption, however, probably is reasonably accu- <br />rate because a large part of the total supply is metered and the <br />individual errors probably are compensating. Other estimates <br />include those of storage capacity, seasonal variations in water <br />use for the State and areas in the State, and capacities of <br />distribution and treatment facilities. The estimated data are <br />so indicated in the report unless the estimate is considered to <br />be within the range of error indicated by the rounding of signi- <br />ficant figures. <br /> <br />27 <br />
