The full build out number of wells will need to reach 12. They are proposed at locations along the south portion of the City. In the Jordan Sandstone Aquifer. 2. The storage capacity requirements are estimated to be 4.5 to 5.0 Million Gallons. The booster pump will need to be sized to meet this storage capacity required for full build out. This should be reevaluated during preliminary design of the ground storage and booster pumps. 3. The water treatment plant will need to have a capacity of 10.6 Million Gallons per Day. This should be reevaluated during preliminary design of the treatment plant. 4. The water treatment plant site with the ground storage, booster pumps and two wells will need to be 5 to 6 acres. Using the new forecasts for housing development and employment, full build out water supply needs were determined and the facility improvements necessary have been identified in this summary of the 2008 Water Plan.
