4. Ultimate Water Demand

The amount of water required for ultimate development in the District is
determined by multiplying the projected total units by the per capita

per unit usage. With an expected decrease in future consumption caused by

reduced line bleeding and the water conservation program, the ultimate

water use requirements (Table 11-6) should be considered as the ultimate

maximum. These values are adjusted as needed to provide input to various

aspects of water facility planning and design. The planning and design
considerations flow characteristics listed below are significant for the

fo 11 owi ng:

Annual Maximum Day Flow: For slzlng supply & treatment facilities,
and booster Stations.

Peak Hour Flow:

For sizing distribution lines and storage
facilities. (Fire flows, discussed in Sec-
tion V, are also used for these purposes.)

In most water utilities, the ultimate annual maximum day flow will occur

in the summer. This concept is reversed for the 8lue River Water District

with the peak demands ocr:urring during the winter when "pillow counts" are

at their peak. This Winter peak demand has bearing on the planning criteria

as long as the actual peak time can be established. A real benefit is re-

ceived from the higher Winter demands thru the alleviation of freezing

problems in water mains and water storage reservoirs.

Treatment works are sized to produce sufficient water to meet the demands

during the maximum demand day of the year, with the tank storage providing

water capacity for the peak hour demands during the day.
