Each figure says who gave it. The developer's figure is what the company said; what a permit allows is the ceiling a permit sets; measured means observed. Nothing here is estimated by the record. Water is in gallons a day or a year, whichever the source stated; a tax claim given as a range shows both ends, each linked to the source that gave it.
What it is for and whom it serves
No source on file says what this facility is for. The use is recorded as not disclosed until one does.
Tenants, tenancy and promises to the community: not disclosed.
