Domestic Water Systems
Water shall be provided from new connections, one for the
Welcome Mat and Hub program components and one for the
Pier. New meters and backflow prevention devices shall be
provided to comply with the St. Petersburg Water Resources
Department water and sewer regulations.
The domestic water system may need to be pressurized by a
constant pressure electric booster system comprised of three
pumps, VFD, control panel, sensors, piping connections and
hydro-pneumatic tank located in a water service/meter room.
The site water distribution system will be designed in such
manner as to:
• Provide potable water in the amount and at the pressure
required by the building occupancy and type of
plumbing fixtures utilized in the building.
• Prevent contamination from non-potable liquids, solids
or gases.
• Maintain a maximum velocity in the water supply piping
of 4 fps to prevent noise and decrease the danger of
surge pressure shock.
• Prevent water hammer conditions by providing air
chambers.
