Authority conditionally allocates 39 EDUs to Caring Acres but flags fire-flow shortfall
Summary
The board conditionally approved allocation of 39 EDUs (8,960 GPD) for domestic use to the Caring Acres Community; HRG's review noted the system lacks sufficient capacity for required fire flow.
The Ephrata Area Joint Authority on June 11 conditionally allocated 39 Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs), equal to 8,960 gallons per day, for domestic service to the proposed Caring Acres Community. The allocation is contingent on completion of recommendations in HRG's Water Plan Review dated May 18, 2026. The motion was moved by Luke Rohrer and seconded by Tim Barr; the minutes record unanimous approval.
HRG's review, as summarized in the minutes, states that the Authority's water system "currently lacks sufficient capacity to meet the required fire flow demand." The conditional approval therefore limits the allocation to domestic use only until capacity or fire-flow issues are addressed as recommended by HRG.
The minutes do not list a timeline for resolving the fire-flow shortfall or who will fund any necessary upgrades. Interested parties should review HRG's May 18 review letter for technical details and recommended mitigation steps.
