requested by the Division and was received on December 20, 2021.

based on the data submitted, the Division hereby approves for use by the Town of Spring Hope

• The flow reduction is applicable to residential single-family dwellings only.
• The minimum flow for 1- and 2-bedroom dwellings shall be 160 gallons per day.
• Each additional bedroom above two bedrooms shall increase the volume by 80 gallons
