Show THE PROBABLE DEMAND FOR WATER BY I960 The heaviest users of water in any community are its industries, and its public institutions. The five largest consumers of water in Cedar City during August, September, and October of 1948 and their average daily consumption are as follows: Utah Parks Co. (35,000 gallons), Union Pacific Railroad Co. (32,000 gallons), Branch Agricultural College (31,000 Gallons), Southern Utah Power Co. (26,600 gallons), Arden Dairy (25,300 gallons). It is only natural that as a city grows the number of industries and public institutions increase. It is difficult to predict the number of such that will come to Cedar City during the next decade, but it is reasonable to assume that enough new industries (only three or four similar to the above would be necessary) will come into our community to increase the water consumption by 10$. Graph No. Ill shows the population trends for Cedar City since i860. During the last thirty years the rate of growth has been constant and if this growth were to continue until I960 our population would be 7000 peoplo or an increase of 26$ over our present population* It is reasonable to assume then that the demands for water by I960 will be 36$ greater than they are today* SOME PROBABLE SOURCES OF SUPPLY The surface water which comprises the flow of Qoal Creek was judicated by the Fifth Judical District Court for Iron County December 6, 1924. Under this decree Cedar City was given the right to divert one second foot from Coal Creek for culinary purposes and |
