Providing finished water and storage facilities for an expanding distribution system necessitates long‐range planning to ensure that customer demands will be met. The relative flexibility of ground‐level versus elevated storage to meet these demands is discussed. Some of the factors considered are past and projected growth of the system, outmoded elevated storage facilities, and limitations of the present storage and trunk main system.
