Sewer flow calculations for the Highway 70 Annex Area:
There are 160 homes that will be served by this sewer project. By using the sewer
demand flows of 120 gallons per bedroom per day as per State regulations, and using a
number of 3 bedrooms per home, the residential wastewater flow demand was calculated
as follows:
(160 homes)(3 bedroomslhome)(120 gallons/day/bedroom)=57,600 gallons per day
There is also a church in the annexation area, which has a seating capacity of
approximately 165 seats. By using the wastewater flow demand of 3 gallons/seat/day as
per State regulations, the wastewater flow was calculated as follows:
(165 seats)(3 gallons/day/seat)=495 gallons per day
In to the residences, there is a brick factory on Majolica Road with 55 people on the first
shift, 3 people on the second shift, and 3 people on the third shift. Wastewater flow was
calculated by using 25 gallons per person per shift as per State regulations. Therefore,
wastewater flow was calculated as follows:
First Shift: (55 people)(25 gallons/person/day)=1,375 gallons per day
Second Shift: (3 people)(25 gallons/person/day)=75 gallons per day
Third Shift: (3 people)(25 gallons/person/day)=75 gallons per day
With a total wastewater flow demand from the factory of 1,525 gallons per day
Therefore, the total wastewater flow that will be generated after this project is complete is
59,620 gallons per day.
