Another ordinance designed to lower water demands during peak periods <br />is one which prohibits irrigation during fire fighting operations. <br />EXISTING RECORDS <br />All pertinent records kept by the City with regard to plant production and <br />water consumption have been reviewed in detail during the preparation of this <br />report. As previously mentioned, the plant production records are the most <br />complete we have ever encountered. <br />Since no continuous records are available showing storage fluctuations it <br />is impossible to determine the rate of water consumption during peak periods <br />of a day. However, several short period tests were conducted by Mr. Dalleooand <br />during the past few years and data collected was made available to us. This <br />data indicates the demand during peak hours is approximately one hundred and <br />fifty per cent (1507.) of the average rate during a maximum demand day. This <br />figure agrees very closely with that found in similar communities. <br />One interesting fact disclosed by records was that the daily peak demand <br />during the summer months extended over a full ten hour period. This is <br />undoubtedly due to the full day irrigation allowance. Most towns enforce <br />morning and evening watering hours which gives their storage some chance to <br />refill during the midday hours. <br />Some of the pertinent information from these records has been repro- <br />duced either in tabular or graphical form in this report, <br />PURPOSE FOR DETE$MINATLON OF PER CAPITA Rg ANDS <br />It is necessary, at this stage of the study to determine a per capita <br />demand in order to calculate the capacities of all water facility units needed <br />to satisfy a growing population. Further, the engineer must know the <br />- 8 - <br />
