preceding item (1.1.2.f.3.) if the engineer provides adequate justification; <strong>for</strong>example, rural water districts may calculate domestic peak flow as the greaterof 0.75 gallons per minute per connection orPeak = 9(number of connections) 0.515 .g. Maximum day flow shall be based on:1. Historical data if these data are available from the public water system.This data shall be representative of climatic conditions that affect demandand source);2. If historical data are not available, data from a comparable system may beused; or3. If neither historical or comparable data are available, the following datamay be used <strong>for</strong> design purposes:Maximum Day Flow = 150% of Average Day Flow.4. Other maximum day flow criteria may be used in lieu of this criteria in1.1.2.g.3. if the engineer gives adequate justification.1.1.3. Alternate plansWhere two or more solutions exist <strong>for</strong> providing public water supply facilities,each of which is feasible and practicable, discuss the alternate plans. Givereasons <strong>for</strong> selecting the solution recommended, including financialconsiderations, and a comparison of the certification level of water systemoperator required.1.1.4. Soil, ground water conditions, and foundation problems<strong>The</strong> engineering report shall specifically address whether the native soils aresuitable <strong>for</strong> main bedding and backfill and note the extent that crushed stone,gravel or other purchased bedding/backfill will be needed, along with estimatedcosts. <strong>The</strong> report shall also address the potential <strong>for</strong> rock excavation in thevarious soils encountered, along with estimated costs.1.1.5. Flow requirementsFlow requirements, including:a. Hydraulic analyses based on flow demands and pressure requirements (seeChapter 8 of this document); andb. Fire flows, when fire protection is provided, design shall be based on theInsurance Services Office (ISO) Fire Flow Criteria.1.1.6. Sources of water supplyDescribe the proposed source or sources of water supply to be developed, thereasons <strong>for</strong> their selection, and provide in<strong>for</strong>mation as follows:1.1.6.1. Surface water sourcesIncluding where pertinent:Aug. 29, 2003Page 3
