(*) Fire flow requirements for towns in Colorado are currently established in
accordance with "Grading Schedule for Municipal Fire Protection" and "Guide
for Determination of'Required Fire Flow" as published by Insurance Services
Office. Many elements enter into determining the fire flow required: for a given
fire area such as: (a) type of building construction; (b) floor area and number
of stories of buildings in the fire area; (c) type of occupancy of building;
and (d) exposure distance to adjacent buildings. The fire flow requirements
listed above are considered adequate for average conditions existing in Swink
at this time. Large buildings and/or special occupancy buildings should
consider fire-resistant construction materials, automatic sprinkler systems,
and on-site storage tanks to reduce their fire flow requirements and fire
insurance rates.

Using the above criteria for projecting water requirements for consumption
and fire demand, in combination with the population projections established
in Chapter III, the water production requirements in 5 year increments are. ,:
extended through the year 2020 and tabulated in Table 3.
