Town Water Study The Town of Mount Airy recently contracted with Hyder North America consultants (Now, Arro Consultants) to conduct a water study to get an evaluation of the current water supply within the Town's aquifer recharge areas. This was a necessary step to evaluate current supply and future needs for the large amount of land development that has occurred during the past six years. In that time, the Town experienced significant growth. Additionally, a drought period from 2000 to 2002 has generated concern on whether the current wells could meet the average daily demand. Below is a chart providing a summary of the Town's daily average water production from 1997 to 2002. Based on this information, the Town's average daily demand for water is around 600,000 gallons per day. 7 Average Water Production Actual Usage Year Gallons Produced Daily Average 1997 191,646,845 525,060 1998 196,987,090 539,690 1999 190,331,660 521,460 2000 215,114,620 589,360 2001 239,626,530 656,511 2002 243,510,150 667,152 This particular water study for the Town also established a definition for "Equivalent Dwelling Unit Assessment" (EDU) in order to be able to assign EDUs to existing customers and project future water needs. An EDU is equal to one (1) dwelling unit, ten (10) employees at a commercial or industrial establishment or 250 gallons per day. This is also a standard that is established by the Maryland Department of the Environment. Equivalent Dwelling Units (Committed but not yet connected) The following is a list of equivalent dwelling units that have received approval to connect to the existing water system but were not connected by April 2002. • Residential 663 EDUs • Industrial 63 EDUs • Commercial 66 EDUs Total 792 EDUs Available Areas within the existing Town Corporate Limits The following is a list of possible "in-fill" areas within the Town's existing corporate limits that could be developed. This was compiled using the Town's latest land use information. 7 Town of Mount Airy Ground water Supply Evaluation, Hyder North America Consultants, February 2001. 88

This was compiled using the latest land use and subdivision data.

The average consumption per household, for the period from 1998 to 2000, was 169 gallons per day. The State of Maryland has determined a standard of 250 gallons per day per residence as normal usage. By the same token, commercial and industrial land uses recorded 318 gallons per day usage. Average combined usage per day between residential, commercial and industrial land uses was 243 gallons per day. Projected Future Water Needs Hyder North America Consultants has determined the following list showing average daily water supply needs. These lists show the projected water demand that will be 89
