Thus, no increases in water use, taps or population are expected in the future. Future water use is expected to remain the same and present water use and fire flow demands will also remain the same. Design Flow - The present maximum day demand plus a fire flow of 1000 gpm is selected for design, because peak hour domestic use is less than the required fire flow. A fire flow of 1,000 gpm will meet pre- sent and future requirements. Water Supply Kelton Heights Water District taps into a 30" Denver Water Department conduit for a source of potable water supply. The 30" conduit is capable of carrying up to 10 million gallons per day. The Denver Water Department can supply up to 800 million gallons per day with 520 mgd filtration capacity and 300 million gallons of storage. Kelton Heights Water District's present peak consumption is .42 million gallons per day based upon Maximum Day plus a fire flow of 1000 gpm. Adequate supply to the District is provided by the Denver Water Department.
