In 2001 a water distribution master plan was created to model and identify deficiencies and areas of improvement for the City's water distribution system. The plan had a community build-out time horizon of 2010. The elements and recommendations of the plan have been implemented to ensure that the City's water infrastructure has sufficiently kept up with the community's new development, redevelopment and water demand over the last twenty years.
