Utah Admin. Code R309-510-4 - General
(1) This rule provides minimum quantities and
flow rates that shall be used in the design of new systems and in the
evaluation of water source, storage facility, and pipeline capacities, unless a
public water system has obtained a capacity reduction per
R309-510-5.
Water demand may vary significantly depending on water system size, type, land
use, urbanization, location, precipitation, etc. Therefore, public water
systems may submit system-specific water use data to justify alternative sizing
requirements in accordance with
R309-510-5.
(2) When designing a public water system, the
sizing requirements for indoor water use, irrigation, and fire suppression (as
required by the local fire code official) shall be included as
appropriate.
(3) Local authorities
may impose more stringent design requirements on public water systems than the
minimum sizing requirements of this rule.
(4) Public water systems shall consider
daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal, and yearly variations of source capacity and
system demand and shall verify that the capacities of drinking water facilities
are sufficiently sized.
(5) The
Director may modify the sizing requirements based on the unique nature and use
of a water system.
