'(*) Fire flow requirements for towns in Colorado are currently esta-

blished in accordance with "Grading Schedule for Municipal Fire Protection"

and "Guide for Determination of Required Fire Flow" as published by

Insurance Services Office. ~~ny elements enter into determining the fire

flow required for a given fire area such as: (a) type of building construc-

tion; (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

bl1;ldings. The fire flow requirements listed above are considered adequate

ror average conditions existing in Bennett at this time. Large buildings

end/or special occupancy buildings should consider fire-resistant construc-

tion 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 consump~

tion and fire demand, in combination with the population projections

established in Chapter III, the total water production requirements are

extended through the year 2010 and tabulated in Table 4.
