This estimated population is based on the present number of water taps and their type of service. In other words, at the beginning of 1978, approximately 231 residences, 58 apartments, 29 trailers in Town and 56 trailers out of Town were provided water service. Considering that there were three persons per residence and two persons per apartment and trailer, the total served population of 975 was developed. The number of taps to the water system has been increasing at an average rate of six per year or approximately 18 more people per year are served. The eventual development of the Kaibab and Val Moritz .properties should increase this rate of growth. However, it is anticipated that some of the potential 300 employees in the Kaibab light industrial complex and those involved in the Val Moritz development will live elsewhere, other than the Town of Granby. At the present growth rate of two percent per year, in the year 2000 the population served by the water facilities will be 1500 people. At a three percent growth rate, the 2000 population would be 1900; and at a four percent growth rate, the population in the year 2000 would be 2300. For the purposes of this report, a growth rate of three percent per year will be assumed which is 1 1/2 times the present growth because of the previous mentioned potential developments within the vinicity. Water supply, treatment, distribution and storage facilities are normally designed to accommodate an anticipated growth for a period of about 20 years. Because of the ever increasing time lag between initial planning and full operation, we believe that the design period should be extended a few years to the year 2000. Therefore, the projected population of the year 2000 11-4
