(b) If the specific type of use is not listed above, the design flow shall be determined in accordance with Env-Ws 1008.(c) For non-community water systems that are being expanded or upgraded, the design flow shall be determined either in accordance with (a) and (b), above, or by using historical water readings in accordance with one of the following: (1) By finding the daily average flow from water meter readings and multiplying the average by a minimum factor of 2 or a maximum factor of 3 depending on the type or frequency of the meter readings; or(2) By examining 12 months of consecutive daily water meter readings, in which case, the water system's design flow shall be based on the highest daily flow noted, without application of a multiplying factor.(d) Since the design flows contained in Table 373-1 and Env-Ws 1008 do not include exterior water use, for those water systems where watering lawns and gardens, filling swimming pools, or other high water use demands are expected, the total design flow for the water system shall be increased accordingly.N.H.
