RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DESIGNING CAPACITIES OF VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF A WATER SUPPLY SCHEME
- Sources of supply should be designed for MAXIMUM DAILY CONSUMPTION
- Pipe mains that carry water from source to service reservoir should be designed for MAXIMUM DAILY CONSUMPTION
- Filter and other units should be designed for TWICE THE DAILY AVERAGE (to handle break-downs and repairs)
- Pumps used for lifting water should be designed for TWICE THE DAILY AVERAGE
(to handle break-downs and repairs)
- The distribution system including the pipes from service reservoir to distribution system should be designed for maximum hourly draft of the day or coincident draft with fire whichever is more
- Service reservoir should be designed to take care of hourly fluctuations, fire demands and emergency services
