CITY OF FLORESVILLE MASTER PLAN<br />
A plot of recorded flow and total monthly rainfall shows a fairly strong correlation between peak flows<br />
and precipitation, indicating a large amount of infiltration/inflow. Precipitation data from the last 15<br />
years suggest that the high rainfall in 2007 is not an aberration, but can be expected every 4-5 years<br />
(though of course larger climatic trends would affect this). Consequently, in the absence of significant<br />
collection system improvements to reduce infiltration/inflow, the observed three-month peaking factor<br />
of 1.21 provides a good basis for long-term <strong>plan</strong>ning. The typical peaking factor for years of more<br />
average rainfall such as 2009 and 2010 is approximately 1.1.<br />
