Population
2026 WMP Population Assumption Historical Population
The Water Master Plan
planning period spans
through 2035.
Steady population
growth is expected to
continue beyond 2035.
Current demands plus
future growth drives the
WMP demand and
infrastructure capacity
requirements.

Demand, AFY
Water demand is projected to
increase from approximately
22,000 AFY in 2025 to
approximately 23,900 AFY by
2035.
Due to ongoing water
conservation programs and
requirements, water demand is
expected to grow at a slower rate
than population.
System Assessment: Positioned for Reliable Service
Through 2035
5 Existing facilities meet demands through 2035 and all current regulatory requirements; targeted upgrades enhance service and resilience.
Sufficient Capacity
Wells, reservoirs, and booster stations meet current and projected demands through 2035; the critical need is to maintain existing capacity.
Regulatory Compliance
All components of the existing system meet applicable
regulatory requirements.
Level of Service
Targeted pipeline improvements would raise pressure
and fire flow in select areas.
Supply & Resilience
Total supply meets demand; new supplies in strategic
locations strengthen operational resilience.
These findings frame the strategic infrastructure investments recommended next.
WMP Recommendations: Strategic Investments to
Support Reliable Water Service
6 Sustainable Service
Delivery
Asset Renewal and
Infrastructure Replacement
Operational Resilience and
Emergency Preparedness
• Rehabilitate and replace aging
reservoirs, wells, booster
stations, meters, and pipelines.
• Extend the useful life of critical
infrastructure to meet current
and future demands.
• Reduce maintenance costs and
risk of unplanned failures.
• Strengthen the District’s resilience
to respond to emergencies and
operational disruptions.
• Expand backup power
capabilities to maintain service
during power outages.
• Improve site security to protect
assets and public health.
• Expand supply options to maintain
reliable water service for existing
and future customers.
• Support ongoing regulatory
compliance.
• Preserve and enhance levels of
service through assets renewal and
targeted service improvements.
