The limiting capacity of the Concord water supply system are the raw water pumps, and Kannapolis and Mount Pleasant are limited by the capacity of the WTP.. Concord restricted water use in 1993 due to drought conditions. Dutch Buffalo Creek nearly went dry in 1986, severely limiting Mount Pleasant's water use. Since then a reservoir has been built to help Mount Pleasant in emergency situations.
