<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />........ ~..',.,--.~ <br /> <br />15. North Central has not documented their analysis or <br />assumptions to support a projected household growth of 2 <br />percent in the franchise area. The Commission deter- <br />mines this projection is unreasonable in light of the <br />5.S percent actual household growth experienced by the <br />Member Cities in 1984~8S. Future expansion of the sys- <br />tem is therefore undercapitalized. <br /> <br />16.
