Question
A city with a population of 20,000 has an
area of 1400 acres, of which 200 ac are
zoned commercial, and 200 acres are
zoned industrial. The average water
consumption is 150 gpcd and 70% of this
water reaches the sewers. On the basis of
sewer gaging's, the average flow from the
commercial area is 200,000 gpd and the
peaking factor is 1.75. Using an industrial
allowance of 5000gal/acre/day with a
peaking factor of 1.8 and an infiltration
peaking factor of 1.6, estimate the average
and peak wastewater flow rates. Also,
determine the overall peaking factor.
