65. Computations show that if North Las Vegas grows at the same rate as the remainder of the urban area, some storage will be required there to equalize pressures during hours of high consumption. Approximately 0.5 MG storage should be reserved for future construction in North Las Vegas. Also, as the urban area develops, new areas may develop* It seems advisable to reserve some elevated storage for these areas. The estimated rate of consumption in the entire urban area during the average hour of the maximum day is 43.8 MGD. The mflvimum hourly flow is estimated at 142 per cent of this figure, or 62.2 MGD. The water needed for the maximum hour will come from storage as follows: Maximum Plate of Storage_________________Withdrawal - MGD Water Company Reservoirs 24.3 North Las Vegas Elevated Tank 7.5 Future Elevated Tank 1.0 Sixth and Oakey Tank 29.4 Total 62.2 To accommodate a flow of 29.4 MGD from Sixth and Oakey and still maintain a residual pressure of 25 psi at the principal connections with the distribution system, a 30-lnch
