Identify all pressure zones with less than eight hours of supply at maximum day demand, and 3. Provide a plan and schedule to improve the system deficiency. In response to this requirement, in December 1997, staff completed a detailed technical analysis of the City's water delivery and storage system.

Per the direction of the City Council Utilities Committee, a water modeling analysis of the City's water system, was prepared by Kennedy/Jenks Consultants in September 2000.
