Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan establishes that water utilities are to be
provided for the purposes of accommodating anticipated growth with a compact, urban form
with staged expansion polices to manage development, provide for a balance of residential use
types, and increase commercial and industrial development. The City has adopted a Water
System Management Plan to facilitate long-range development of utility infrastructure to meet
expended demand over time along with a Capital Improvement Plan to address timing and
financing for system improvements. Well #10 is an essential service necessary to implement
the Comprehensive Plan policies in accordance with the Water System Master Plan.
