CITY OF FLORESVILLE MASTER PLAN
Well Requirements
The TCEQ regulations require 0.6 gpm/connection of well capacity in total. Therefore the maximum
number of connections that the City can have is as follows:
Total Well Capacity (gpm)
Maximum No. of Connection = gpm
0.6 (
connection )
3,400 gpm
→ gpm = 5,667 Connections
0.6 (
connection
)
The maximum number of connections which the City can have and still be in compliance with TCEQ well
capacity regulations is 5,667.
Conservatively assuming 2500 current connections the City is currently at 44% of its capacity in terms of
number of possible connections based on available well capacity. TCEQ rules further state that if a
system is at 85% of its capacity planning materials for system expansion must be submitted to TCEQ.
The City is well below this benchmark.
Total Storage Requirements
With both ground and elevated storage the City of Floresville currently has 1,220,000 gallons of available
storage. Total storage must be 200 gallons per connection. Accordingly, the maximum number of
connections which the City can have based on the currently available storage is as follows:
Total Storage Capacity (gal)
Maximum No. of Connections =
gal
200 (
connection )
1,220,000 (gal)
→ = 6,100 Connections
gal
200 (
connection )
The maximum number of connections which the City can have and still be in compliance with TCEQ total
storage regulations is 6,100.
Assuming 2500 current connections the City is currently at 41% of its capacity in terms of number of
possible connections based on available storage.
Elevated Storage Requirements
Taking into account all available elevated storage the City’s current capacity is 550,000 gallons. Total
elevated storage is to be 100 gallons per connection. Accordingly, the maximum number of connections
which the City can have based on the currently available elevated storage is as follows:
