<p>According to one embodiment, a water demand optimization system includes a management terminal, a measuring apparatus, a demand information generatingunit and a water-supply control apparatus. The management terminal drives customer equipment, which performs an operation using water, in a time zone in which a power unit rate is low. The measuringapparatus measures an amount of water used in a10 dwelling unit. The demand information generating unit generates water demand based on the amount of water. The water-supply control apparatus'controls a pump in a manner to meet water demand and to minimize a treatmentcost in a water purification plant and a cost for15 conveyance of clear waterwith reference to a variation in the power unit rate.</p> |
