revised service area.
Provide basic planning data for population, service connections, and water
consumption.
Provide system capacity analysis, identify limiting factors, and summarize
hydraulic capacity.
Update water use efficiency goals for the next 6 years.
Provide a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the next 10 and 20 years.
Provide a budget to fund projects identified in the CIP and summary of the rate
structure.
Revise Water Engineering Design Standards.
