Construct a potable water distribution system based on the potable water distribution plan to meet projected need for water storage tanks and distribution mains, capable of meeting fire flow performance standards in areas where potable water is used for fire protection, and capable of providing back up distribution systems to address failure of major system components.

Policy 9.5.5.1. Maintain a computerized water distribution model based on population projections from the Building and Development Services Department to determine future demand for potable water.

Policy 9.5.5.2. Develop major water distribution mains with diameters of sixteen (16) inches or greater and storage facilities throughout the retail service area to balance fluctuation in water demand, safeguard supply in case of plant or water main breakdown, and to maintain required fire flow.
