The amendment permits a 3-inch water line, double the standard limit, to accommodate increased water demand, which could rise fourfold as the park expands. Currently, 500 to 600 spaces are in use with a standard connection. The overall system impact remains under 1% of total demand, and the city is monitoring future RV park developments.
