IV - PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT

A.

PHYSICAL PLAN

Having laid a foundation of population growth, status of existing facili-

ties, and a projection of present and future water requirements, a plan is

hereafter evolved to expand the existing facilities in stages to meet these

requirements.

Distribution System. A major improvement project is necessary at the

present time to correct deficiencies and maintenance problems in the existing

SYSL2n and to provide required fire flows to all parts of town. Once an ade-

quate base system is constructed, it can be extended in short segments as the

need occurs. As growth occurs and the land is developed, the Town should re-

0,fre the owner or developer of the property to install an adequate distribu-

tion system at no cost or little cost to the Town. When examining a proposed

extension pIan it must be kept in mind that the developer must not only pro-

vide a distribution system and fire flow to his development, but the mains

Dust be adequately sized to axtend beyond his immediate development and pro-

vide fire flows to the property beyond. Figure I shows the total design

area to be considered up to year 2010 and Figure III shows the major distribu-

tion main gridwork necessary to deliver fire flows to the design area. While

the gridwork can be constructed on a piecemeal basis, the grid must be com-

pleted and the loops closed in order to deliver the required flows.

The design area shown on Figure I encompasses approximately 1600 acres~

At the design population of 4500 (median prQjection for year 2010) this would

be an average population density of 2.8 persons per acre. This results in an

extremely low population density and the design area will be roughly 1/3

developed at the design population of 4500. Using the Adams County high
