3 measured by weir was 1 1 ,399*533 gallons as oompared with a present maximum daily production capacity of 13,930,000 gallons. Our average daily consumption for the month of August of this year was 10,320,397 gallons which consumption on some days reached a peak of about 12,000,000 gallons. This leaves but a small margin of pro­ductive capacity over peak consumption requirements and brings to bur attention the limited water storage. It is our thought that study should be made for increase of reservoir capacity which no doubt will some day be required. Conclusionst 1 . While under present conditions we have sufficient production ability to meet the requirements, there are certain parts of the City above described, that owing to insufficiency of our distribution system, do not receive sufficient volume of water for ordinary needs. 2. Should a fire occur in these insufficiently supplied sections, fire engines when connected to the fire hydrants, could not obtain sufficient water. This we consider an extreme hazard that would be corrected by the additional lines recommended* 3« It appears that the Commission has determined that we must take over service to the Boulder Addition. We could not furnish sufficient water to this Addition with our present system. Our recommendation in taking care of the other situations will furnish adequate water for that purpose. 4-. We now have the confidence and full cooperation of the Public Service Commission. The Commission is fully aware of the inadequacy of our system in cer­tain parts of the City. Corrective measures above proposed will no doubt forestall full investigation and possible action on its part. 0. P. K a h l p ^ R. L. Adamson*./
