A company spilled a contaminant that got into the water distribution system of a small town, which has an average flow of 100,000 gpd. The contaminant infiltrated a pipe 1,500 ft from the storage tank, and the concentration at the infiltration point is 5 mg/L. The storage tank has a volume of 125,000 gallons and the first user is 500 ft from the storage tank. Assume velocity of 2.5 ft/s in pipes, and a rate constant of 3/day. What is the concentration at the first user?
