Secondary source excerpt (infrastructure strain, 109 words): An engineering audit of Lakeside's water system reports that the city's population grew by 35% since 2010, but many water mains and sewer lines date to the 1950s. As new apartment buildings infill older neighborhoods, peak demand frequently exceeds designed capacity, leading to low water pressure and occasional sewage overflows during heavy rain.
