8.0 STATEMENT OF NEED
8.1 Methodology
Using the water demand projections in Section 5.0 and the known capacities of water resources
in the MRPDC Region, timeframes can be projected when the existing capacities of the systems
will become inadequate to provide for the demands.  In accordance with the Regulations (9 VAC
25-780-130), a water supply plan shall determine the adequacy of existing water sources to meet
current and projected demand based upon the information and analyses conducted by 9 VAC 25-
780-70 through 9 VAC 25-780-110.  Table 8.1.1 below summarizes the total existing capacity,
along with the limiting capacity factor for each community in the MRPDC region.

8.2.3 Grayson County
Grayson County relies on bulk water purchases from the City of Galax, which are allotted at 0.10
MGD. Figure 8.2.3.1 shows that Grayson County is currently experiencing a water surplus and
will continue to experience this same surplus in 2060 since they currently have full capacity
provisions from the City of Galax. Public water supply in Grayson County comes from the City
of Galax Fairview Water System and the Old Town System. Since the County doesn’t maintain a
source or have any capacity, the limiting factor is the amount of water allotted to the County
through the interconnection with the Galax systems (0.10 MGD). Without the interconnection,
Grayson County would currently experience a 0.075 MGD deficit.

8.2.4 Smyth County
Based upon water demand projections, Smyth County is currently experiencing a surplus (0.40
MGD) in available water resources.  Smith County has an available capacity of 0.39 MGD and
relies on bulk water purchases from the Town of Marion, the Town of Chilhowie and Thomas
Bridge Water Works for an additional 0.44 MGD. Figure 8.2.4.1 shows that Smyth County will
not experience a water deficit in 2060 and will likely maintain a surplus of 0.25 MGD. If only
the Smyth County capacity of 0.39 MGD is used, then Smyth County would require alternate
sources of water to maintain surplus conditions. Public water supply in Smyth County comes
from two groundwater wells at Hutton Branch and Watson’s Water Gap. The Smyth County
groundwater wells have a total limiting VDH permitted withdrawal amount of 0.39 MGD.

8.2.5 Washington County
Based upon the water demand projections, Washington County is currently experiencing a deficit
(0.59 MGD) in available water resources.  Washington County relies on bulk water purchases
from BVU.  Figure 8.2.5.1 shows that Washington County will continue to experience a water
deficit in 2060 of approximately 4.75 MGD if alternate sources are not explored and only
Washington County sources are utilized. Public water supply in Washington County comes from
a groundwater well in the lower Poore Valley (Mendota Well), the Middle Fork of the Holston
River and a combination of the Reservation and Cole Springs for a design capacity total of 8.00
MGD. However, Washington County has a limiting VDH permitted withdrawal amount of 6.53
MGD. If all VDH permitted capacities were revised to match design capacities of 8.00 MGD,
Washington County would realize a current surplus of approximately 0.70 MGD with deficit
beginning in 2020.

Washington County sources are utilized. Public water supply in Washington County comes from
a groundwater well in the lower Poore Valley (Mendota Well), the Middle Fork of the Holston
River and a combination of the Reservation and Cole Springs for a design capacity total of 8.00
MGD. However, Washington County has a limiting VDH permitted withdrawal amount of 6.53
MGD. If all VDH permitted capacities were revised to match design capacities of 8,00 MGD,
Washington County would realize a current surplus of approximately 0.70 MGD with deficit
beginning in 2020.

No additional water source capacity is required to meet demand during the planning period.  The
available capacity appears to be adequate to meet the 2040 projected demand.  However, the
projected demand in 2040 was predicated on achieving improvement in existing water delivery
accountability to seventy percent (70%), because VDH considers water accountability less than
seventy percent to be a significant system deficiency.  This will require a reduction in “lost
water” from the current fifty percent to thirty percent.  Funding will be needed to rehabilitate and
replace leaking water lines in order to achieve seventy percent delivery accountability.  If the
accountability cannot be improved to seventy percent by the end of the planning period,
additional treated water from the John Flannagan WTP will be required.
A challenging portion of increasing water accountability will require corrections in the existing
transmission lines that convey water from the WTP to the PSA system.  These lines,
experiencing apparent infrastructure deterioration, are located in terrain that is difficult to access
and lacks sufficient working area for conventional installation of replacement lines.  This
impacts system reliability in addition to addressing the gross demand for potable water.  The
PSA may evaluate the economic potential for installation of additional water treatment facilities.

The annual equivalent of the permitted capacity of the CWSA system is 151 million gallons, but
the actual demand is projected to exceed this amount by twenty-five percent (25%) by 2010 and
by sixty-one percent (61%) by 2020, decreasing the amount of water losses to twenty-five
percent (25%) by 2040.  Unaccounted-for water losses decrease after 2020.
Additional demand in the PSA system will occur due to extension of service to areas currently
unserved by a community water system.  Much of the demand due to extension of service in the
PSA service areas could be provided from the Claypool Hill WTP.  However, current capacity in
that WTP would be sufficient for only eighty-eight percent (88%) of the projected 2040 demand.
Self-supplied, non-agricultural, non-residential user water consumption is 728 million gallons
annually, and is all from surface water sources.  The cumulative demand is equivalent to one
hundred forty-four percent (144%) of the projected 2040 demand from community water systems
operated by the CWSA and PSA.  This self-supplied demand is not projected to increase during
the planning period.

WV.  The PSA operates two treatment facilities:  the Greater Tazewell Regional WTP and the
Claypool Hill WTP.  The Claypool Hill WTP withdraws water from the Little River.  The three
(3) sources of water to Greater Tazewell Regional WTP are the Clinch River, Cox Branch
Reservoir, and Lake Witten (Cavitts Creek).  Other PSA systems are supplied potable water
produced at the Town of Richlands WTP.  The Clinch River is the sole source of water to the
Richlands WTP.

Cumberland Plateau
In the Phase II Development of the Cumberland Plateau Water Supply Plan, the total water
demand in the planning area was projected to increase approximately nineteen percent (19%)
between 2010 and 2040 (see page 13 of the Phase II Report dated April 30, 2009).
As noted in the Phase II Development Report, projected water demand reflects the impact of four
parameters:  population changes, extension of existing water service to new areas, change in
water use due to economic activities, and improvement in water system delivery efficiency.
Population changes increased projected water demand in Russell County and Tazewell County.
No known economic activity in the planning area during the planning period was identified and
documented that would increase water demand significantly.
Proposed extensions of existing water systems to areas currently unserved were quantified in
Phase II of the report.  Improvement in water system delivery efficiency was quantified by
assuming that all systems would have achieved accountability of at least seventy percent (70%)
by the end of the planning period.
The adequacy of existing supplies to meet demand projections at the end of the planning period
(2040) is evaluated for the four (4) counties and nine (9) towns that maintain water systems in
the Cumberland Plateau Regional Planning area.
The adequacy of existing supplies to meet demand projections at the end of the planning period
(2040) was evaluated for Buchanan County, Dickenson County, Russell County, Tazewell
County, and the Towns of Bluefield, Cedar Bluff, Cleveland, Clintwood, Honaker, Lebanon,
Pocahontas, Richlands, and Tazewell.
Evaluation indicated that existing water supplies appear adequate to meet the demand projections
of the localities examined, except for the Castlewood Water and Sewer Authority system in
Russell County, the Russell County PSA systems served by the Claypool Hill WTP.
Water systems operated by the Buchanan County PSA, the Dickenson County PSA, and the

transmission lines that convey water to the respective systems.  The transmission lines will
require rehabilitation during the planning period, and alternative delivery of potable water to
portions of these systems may have greater viability from an economic standpoint.
A key component in determining demand projections was that all systems in the planning area
would complete necessary improvements during the planning period to achieve a minimum
water accountability of seventy percent (70%) in every system.  For several systems, significant
funding will be required to accomplish the necessary improvement in water accountability.
8.2.48 Buchanan County
The Buchanan County PSA owns and operates the public water systems in the County.  The vast
majority of potable water used by the PSA systems is produced at the John Flannagan WTP.
John Flannagan Reservoir is the sole source of water to the WTP.  The PSA owns and operates
the Kennel Gap WTP near Keen Mountain Correctional Facility.  This WTP is supplied water
from the Lower Banner Seam (abandoned mine).  Tazewell County PSA’s Baptist Valley/Bandy
water system provides less than one percent of the water used in the Buchanan County PSA
system.
The PSA’s main system delivers water to nine of Dickenson County PSA’s water systems, as
well as to two systems operated by the Tazewell County PSA.
The 2040 projected annual water demand for the PSA’s systems is 1,476 million gallons.  This
projected demand is based on a reduction in the amount of unaccounted-for water to thirty
percent (30%).  The John Flannagan WTP’s annual permitted capacity is 2,686 million gallons.
The 2040 projected demand is fifty-five percent (55%) of available WTP capacity.  When the
projected demands of all systems supplied by the WTP are combined, the projected available
water delivery capacity of the WTP is thirty-six percent (36%).
No additional water source capacity is required to meet demand during the planning period.  The
available capacity appears to be adequate to meet the 2040 projected demand.  However, the
projected demand in 2040 was predicated on achieving improvement in existing water delivery
accountability to seventy percent (70%), because VDH considers water accountability less than
transmission lines that convey water to the respective systems. The transmission lines will
require rehabilitation during the planning period, and alternative delivery of potable water to

water” from the current fifty percent to thirty percent.  Funding will be needed to rehabilitate and
replace leaking water lines in order to achieve seventy percent delivery accountability.  If the
accountability cannot be improved to seventy percent by the end of the planning period,
additional treated water from the John Flannagan WTP will be required.
A challenging portion of increasing water accountability will require corrections in the existing
transmission lines that convey water from the WTP to the PSA system.  These lines,
experiencing apparent infrastructure deterioration, are located in terrain that is difficult to access
and lacks sufficient working area for conventional installation of replacement lines.  This
impacts system reliability in addition to addressing the gross demand for potable water.  The
PSA may evaluate the economic potential for installation of additional water treatment facilities.
Self-supplied, non-agricultural, non-residential user water consumption is 315 million gallons
annually.  Ninety-two percent is from surface water sources and eight percent from ground water
sources.  The cumulative demand is twenty-one percent (21%) of the projected 2040 demand
from community water systems.  This self-supplied demand is not projected to increase during
the planning period.
8.2.49 Dickenson County
The Dickenson County PSA owns and operates the public water systems in the County.  The
PSA systems are supplied potable water produced at the John Flannagan WTP.  John Flannagan
Reservoir is the sole source of water to the WTP.  Water from the WTP is conveyed to the PSA
systems through transmission lines owned by the Dickenson County PSA, Buchanan County
PSA, or by the Town of Clintwood.  The PSA’s Sandy Ridge water system is supplied by the
Wise County PSA’s regional system, whose source is the Clinch River.
The PSA’s Bartlick/Breaks water system further delivers water to Buchanan County PSA’s
Grassy Creek water system.

delivery capacity of the WTP is thirty-six percent (36%).
No additional water source capacity is required to meet demand during the planning period.  The
available capacity appears to be adequate to meet the 2040 projected demand.  However, as
noted for Buchanan County above, delivery of potable water from the WTP via the Buchanan
County PSA and Town of Clintwood is a concern, due to the apparent infrastructure
deterioration and water losses in the existing transmission line between the WTP and the PSA
and Town systems.
Self-supplied, non-agricultural, non-residential user water consumption is 388 million gallons
annually.  Ninety-seven percent is from surface water sources and three percent from ground
water sources.  The cumulative demand is equivalent to one hundred, ninety-seven percent of the
projected 2040 demand from water systems operated by the PSA.  This self-supplied demand is
not projected to increase during the planning period.
8.2.50 Russell County
Russell County has two authorities that provide water within the County:  the Russell County
PSA and the Castlewood Water and Sewer Authority (CWSA).  The PSA’s Green Valley Estates
system is supplied potable water from two wells, the PSA’s Swords Creek system is supplied
water from the Richlands WTP (source is the Clinch River) via the Tazewell County PSA
Raven-Doran system, the PSA’s Belfast/Rosedale system is supplied from the Tazewell County
PSA’s Claypool Hill WTP (source is the Little River), the PSA’s Poor Farm system is supplied
water from the Town of Lebanon WTP (source is Big Cedar Creek), and the PSA’s Hansonville
system is also supplied water from the Lebanon WTP.  Plans are to ultimately incorporate the
Poor Farm system into the Belfast/Rosedale system and to allow the system to be supplied by
either Tazewell or Lebanon.
2040 projected demand is seven percent (7%) of available WTP capacity. When the projected
demands of all systems supplied by the WTP are combined, the projected available water
delivery capacity of the WTP is thirty-six percent (36%).
No additional water source capacity is required to meet demand during the planning period. The
available capacity appears to be adequate to meet the 2040 projected demand. However, as
noted for Buchanan County above, delivery of potable water from the WTP via the Buchanan

The CWSA water system is supplied from wells and springs with treatment occurring at the two
CWSA WTPs.  A small portion of potable water used in the CWSA system is provided by the
Town of St. Paul’s WTP, using water withdrawn from the Clinch River.
The PSA’s Hansonville system currently provides water to the Altamont Manor water system in
Russell County.
The 2040 projected annual water demand for the County’s systems is 503 million gallons.  The
combined annual permitted capacity is 2,559 million gallons.  These sources of potable water
include the three (3) WTPs in Tazewell County (Richlands WTP, Greater Tazewell Regional
WTP, and Claypool Hill WTP).  The 2040 projected demand is twenty percent (20%) of
available WTP capacity.  When included with the projected demand of all other systems on the
WTPs, the projected available water delivery capacity of the WTP is seventy-four percent (74%).
From evaluation of water demand aggregated throughout the County, no additional water source
capacity is required to meet demand during the planning period.  The available capacity appears
to be adequate to meet the 2040 projected demand in the County as a whole, but specific
community water systems appear to need additional supply.
The annual equivalent of the permitted capacity of the CWSA system is 151 million gallons, but
the actual demand is projected to exceed this amount by twenty-five percent (25%) by 2010 and
by sixty-one percent (61%) by 2020, decreasing the amount of water losses to twenty-five
percent (25%) by 2040.  Unaccounted-for water losses decrease after 2020.
Additional demand in the PSA system will occur due to extension of service to areas currently
unserved by a community water system.  Much of the demand due to extension of service in the
PSA service areas could be provided from the Claypool Hill WTP.  However, current capacity in
that WTP would be sufficient for only eighty-eight percent (88%) of the projected 2040 demand.
Self-supplied, non-agricultural, non-residential user water consumption is 728 million gallons

Evaluation indicated that existing water supplies appear adequate to meet the demand projections
of the localities examined, except for the Castlewood Water and Sewer Authority system in
Russell County, the Russell County PSA systems served by the Claypool Hill WTP.
Water systems operated by the Buchanan County PSA, the Dickenson County PSA, and the
Town of Clintwood are supplied potable water by the John Flannagan Water Authority through
transmission lines that convey water to the respective systems.  The transmission lines will
require rehabilitation during the planning period, and alternative delivery of potable water to
portions of these systems may have greater viability from an economic standpoint.
A key component in determining demand projections was that all systems in the planning area
would complete necessary improvements during the planning period to achieve a minimum
water accountability of seventy percent (70%) in every system.  For several systems, significant
funding will be required to accomplish the necessary improvement in water accountability.

LENOWISCO
This section evaluates the adequacy of existing water sources to meet current and projected
demand in the LENOWISCO Planning Area.
In the Phase II Development of the LENOWISCO Water Supply Plan, the total water demand in
the planning area was projected to decrease approximately four percent (4%) between 2010 and
2040 (page 14 of 2008 report).  This indicates that existing sources, if currently sufficient, should
provide for the water supply needs of the planning area throughout the planning period.
As noted in the Phase II Development Report, projected water demand reflects the impact of four
(4) parameters:  population changes, extension of existing water service to new areas, change in
water use due to economic activities, and improvement in water system delivery efficiency.
Population changes and economic activity did not impact projected water demand, because
changes in population projections over the planning period were slight (0.1% per year).  No
known economic activity in the planning area during the planning period was identified and
documented that would utilize additional water.  Since completion of the Phase II report, the
Dominion Virginia City Hybrid Energy Center has been proposed and is under construction.
The additional annual demand of 365 million gallons would constitute approximately ten
percent (10%) of the overall planning area demand.  This volume has been accounted for in this
analysis; however, the demand is not for potable (treated) water, and permitted capacity and
infrastructure are both in place to address this additional demand.
Proposed extensions of existing water systems to areas currently unserved were quantified in
Phase II of the report.  Improvement in water system delivery efficiency was quantified by
assuming that all systems would have achieved accountability of at least seventy percent (70%)
by the end of the planning period.
The adequacy of existing supplies to meet demand projections at the end of the planning period
(2040) is evaluated for the three (3) counties, one (1) city, and twelve (12) towns that maintain
water systems.

Evaluation indicated that existing water supplies appear adequate to meet the demand projections
of all of the localities.  However, demand projections for the Towns of Gate City and
Nickelsville exceed eighty percent (80%) of system capacity, a threshold at which the Office of
Drinking Water requires plans and specifications to be developed for expansion of the
waterworks.  The demand projections at the end of the planning period are equivalent to current
demand for the two (2) towns.
However, plans and specifications for expansion are not required if the growth within the service
area is limited and will not exceed the rated capacity of the waterworks (12 VAC 5-590-520).
The demand projections for the water systems for the Towns of Gate City and Nickelsville do
not exceed the rated capacity of the respective systems.
A key component in determining demand projections was that all systems in the planning area
would complete necessary improvements during the planning period to achieve a minimum
water accountability of seventy percent (70%) in every system.  For several systems, significant
funding will be required to accomplish the necessary improvement in water accountability.
