<br />. <br /> <br />SECTION VI <br />WATER DEMAND AND QUALITY CRITERIA <br /> <br />GENE RAL <br /> <br />An overal I master plan for the development of Carbondale is not presently <br /> <br /> <br />available, but present and imminent development is fairly clear and an <br /> <br /> <br />ultimate development plan has been assumed as outlined in Section IV. <br /> <br /> <br />The ultimate development picture shown here is satisfactory for present <br /> <br /> <br />purposes, but must be considered approximate and will change as actual <br /> <br /> <br />development takes place. <br /> <br />WATER DEMAND PRDJECTIONS <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The exact water demands for the Town of Carbondale are unknown at this <br /> <br /> <br />time since there is no present means of measuring the demand. There is <br /> <br /> <br />a meter located in the water transmission line above the Town which mea- <br /> <br /> <br />sures the supply, but this does not reflect the demand since the supply is <br /> <br /> <br />continuous and is wasted at an overflow fro~ the present storage reservoir. <br /> <br /> <br />A temporary meter was installed in the storage tank overflow line, and flows <br /> <br /> <br />were recorded there and at the meter above Town for one week between March 5 <br /> <br /> <br />and March 13. The average inflow to town was 690,000 gpd, and the average <br /> <br /> <br />overflow at the tank was 290,000 gpd, leaving a demand, with no lawn watering, <br /> <br /> <br />of 400,000 gpd. <br /> <br />Carbondale water users are categorized below: <br /> <br />TABLE VI-A <br />WATER USERS <br /> <br />Single Family Residences (approximately <br />230 a re out of town <br /> <br />Small Commercial Users <br /> <br />Moderate Commerical Users <br /> <br />Large Commercial Users (schools, servi:e <br />stations, laundromats) <br /> <br />675 <br />17 <br />17 <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />. <br />
