自动需求分配程序已用于与资本和基础设施规划的需求预测相关的应用，以及一个正在进行的未知水监测项目。新住宅建设正在进行，这为服务区增加了新客户。新客户的另一个来源是将现有住宅从单井供水转换为伊利县水务局（ECWA）系统。与这些新客户相关的额外用水需求可能超过泵站的容量，并可能影响其他设施，包括输电干线和储罐。需求分配过程中收集的信息与ECWA地理信息系统结合使用，以预测客户增长和需求。 根据这些通过综合数据库和与管理局GIS的接口得出的客户和需求预测，基础设施的改进，包括泵站、输电干线和储存设施，被纳入了一项全面的规划研究。

The automated demand allocation procedure has been used for applications relating to demand forecasting for capital and infrastructure planning, and an on-going program of unaccounted-for water monitoring. New home construction is occurring, which adds new customers to the service area. Another source of new customers are existing homes converting from an individual well supply to the Erie County Water Authority (ECWA) system. The addition of water demands associated with these new customers could exceed the capacity of the pumping station, and may impact other facilities including transmission mains and storage tanks. Information compiled during demand allocation procedures were used in combination with the ECWA Geographic Information System to forecast customer growth and demands. Based on these customer and demand forecasts, derived through the integrated database and an interface to the Authority GIS, infrastructure improvements including pumping stations, transmission mains, and storage, were incorporated in a comprehensive planning study.
