Dartmouth WWTF Flow Components<br />

The flow components were determined through an analysis of available WWTF flow<br />

data and RWWFP modeling results. They do not account for system overflows as these<br />

flows will not reach the WWTFs.<br />

The wastewater flows making up the total projected flows at the Dartmouth WWTF in<br />

2046 have been differentiated in two ways:<br />

• Existing and future flows.<br />

• Sanitary and I/I flows.<br />

Existing flows were measured at the WWTF reflecting the current contribution from the<br />

sewershed tributary to the Dartmouth WWTF. Future flows were projected based on<br />

design allowances and estimates of population and unit rates. Sanitary flows are<br />

comprised of wastewater flows from residential and employment sources while I/I flows<br />

are comprised of groundwater infiltration and wet weather inflow and infiltration. It is<br />

vital to distinguish among these various flow components as the extent of demand<br />

reduction, the method of demand reduction and the costs of demand reduction are all<br />

dependent on which component is under consideration.<br />
