Since the northern most portion of the project will serve to semi permanent to permanent
residents, the project water consumption and demand were divided into 2 development
zones or tiers as described in table 4.3 below:
Table 4.3 Projected ABR Water demand according to zones
Tiers Description Tier Demand
1 Beach Front Villas, Beach Cottages, Apartments,
Owner Club House
14,600
2 Hotel, Hotel Suites, Water Cabanas, Spa Cabanas,
Visitors, Restaurants, Bars, Employee Housing
25,470
Totals 40,070
As can be seen from the table above, tier 2 has the highest water demand per zone. These
tiers were developed to better manage the water demand for the project and reduce water
loss via excessive piping and eliminating dead ends throughout the project distribution
mains.
