A community has an estimated population 20 years hence which is equal to 35,000. The present population is 28,000, and present average water consumption is 16 x 10° /day. The existing water treatment plant has a design capacity of 5 mgd. Assuming an arithmetic rate of population growth determine in what year the existing plant will reach its design capacity.
