(1) Electrical. The delivery of electricity to the City of Forks in order to meet future demands will take a coordinated process between the City and the utility provider. According to P.U.D. No. 1, it is anticipated that there will be enough capacity to meet the projected growth for the community based on the projections from the Office of Financial Management.

The P.U.D. No. 1 has expressed the need for additional public rights-of-way or private easements for future expansion of general distribution facilities. Efforts will be made to ensure a citizen-government-P.U.D coordinated effort to site any needed corridor alignments for specific electrical lines.

(2) Telecommunications. The provision of telecommunication services is driven by the needs of its customers. As the City grows, telecommunication facilities will be upgraded to ensure adequate service levels. It is also feasible that facilities will be upgraded as technology advances. However, PTI has indicated that there will be no future need for additional land requirements for any future changes.

(3) Water. As discussed above, the City is exploring the existence of a second aquifer located to the north of the City near the Forks Industrial Park. This exploration, if successful, could result in the amount of water available to current and future residents of the FUGA have an abundance of quality drinking water.

In addition, discussion has occurred on the replacement or upgrading of at least one of the current water reservoir tanks. This upgrade/replacement would be conditioned upon availability of funding from local, State and federal agencies.

Conservation of water resources is addressed in Objective B, discussed below. The City could, through a process of education, and building requirements reduce the current demand upon the water system. However, such efforts would not overcome the need to augment the current aquifer with additional water resources due to the growing demand for this resource as a result of population growth and industrial development.

(4) Sewer. As discussed above, the current facility will be insufficient to meet an expanding demand for sewer treatment access as State and federal regulations become increasingly stringent in this area. This will require addition citizen demand, resulting in formation or expansion of associated utility districts. Currently, there is no immediate plan to expand this service. However, realizing the twenty (20) year life span of this Plan, the City has requested that land to the west and southwest of the existing facility be designated as a site for expansion via the use of an open space – limited access designation.
