Area Served By City Water System.

The Canon City water system serves oot only the residents within the city limits

of Canon City, but serves a number of outside water districts and users as well.

Exhibit No.1 shows the location of these outside water iistricts and users.

It can be seen that the total area gerved is relatively large and that practically

all areas surrounding Can;n City rely on the City water system.

Population Proiection.

To effectively plan the expansion of a water system, it is necessary to analyze

the area to be served, determine its potential for growth, and make a population

projection which will be the basis for water system capacity.
