Residential water used per capita per day: 40-53 gal. mean of 46.5 gal Expected 1031 residential users 46.5 gal per capita per day x 1031residents= 47,941.50 gal. of water per day-STORAGE 47,941.50 gal x 365 days = 17,498,647.50 gal of water annually Source: Midwest Plan Service, Iowa State Univ., 1968. Private Water Systems. p. 15. Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings (11th edition) Office water used per person per day : 6 gal Expect office worker for 2 shift per day= 3,242 (1,621 office workers per shift) 3,242 Office workers x 6 gal per person per shift= 19,452 gal office/commercial water storage 19,452 x 365 days= 7,099,980 gal of water annually Total water cistern size 47,941.50 gal storage for residential users + 19,452 gal storage for commercial users= 67,393.50 gal minimum water supply cistern size x 3 for emergency purpose = 202,180.50 total storage Peak hourly demand of water (Total daily requirement of water/hours of water consumption (usually 15-17hours)) x 2.2 (47,941.50/16(mean of 15&17)) x 2.2= 6,591.95 Water tank computation Total daily demand of water/2 Residential use 47,941.50 gal per day/2= 23,970.75 gal of water tank Office use 19,452 gal per day/2= 9,726 gal of water tank Electric Water heater with storage Residential -12 gal per capita (peak hour) 12 gal x 1031 residents =12,372 gal
Office - 0.4 gal per capita (peak hour)
0.4 gal x 3,242 office workers = 1,296.80 gal Source: http://www.hotwater.com/lit/sizing/aossg88210.pdf Fire Hydrant Cistern Computation = 1hr reserve of daily water demand 67,393.50 gal daily water demand / 16 hours(mean of 15&17hours of water consumption)=4,212.10 gal of fire cistern x 3 for emergency purpose= 12,636.30 Fire Hydrant Tank Computation =1hr reserve of daily water demand Residential use 47,941.50 gal daily water demand / 16 hours(mean of 15&17hours of water consumption)= 2,996.35 gal of water tank Office use 19,452 gal daily water demand / 16 hours(mean of 15&17hours of water consumption)= 1,215.75 gal of water tank Rainwater cistern V = A x R x 0.90 x 7.5 gals./ ft3 where:
= volume of rain water cistern (gallons)
= surface area roof (square feet)
= rainfall annual average(feet)
0.90 = losses to system (no units)
7.5
= conversion factor (gallons per cubic foot)
V= 45,977.41sq.ft. (4,271.44 sqm) x 0.65ft (196.91mm) x 0.90 x 7.5 gals./ ft3
Maximum rainwater collection = 201,725.8864 gal
30% of daily water demand is for toilet use(http://www.waterwise.org.uk)
Rainwater will be used for flushing toilet and landscape irrigation therefore; 67,393.50 gal of daily water demand x 30% =20,218.05 gal and;
