§ 10-5-2. WATER DEMANDS.  


Latest version.
  • Developer will provide with plan submittals estimated demands for maximum day flows based on the following:
    (A) Water main design shall be based on maximum day flows, as listed in Table 10-5.1 below, plus fire flows.
    (B) Appurtenances (booster, reservoirs and the like) shall be designed for peak hour of the maximum day demand with provisions for fire flow and emergency flows as required.
    (C) The peak hour is 1.7 times the maximum day demand.
    (D) System pressures should be maintained between 60 and 100 psi for maximum day velocity.
    (E) The system should not exceed 5 fps or a head loss of 10 feet per 1,000 feet, whichever is limiting.
