in effect3124.05 - Planning standards for sanitary sewers.
The city assumes an average sanitary flow of one hundred thirty (130) gallons per capita per day. To provide for peak flows, this average flow is multiplied by a peaking factor of between three and three-tenths (3.3) and four (4.0), according to flow levels from a given area. The total design flow is determined by adding to the peak design flow an allowance for infiltration and inflow of one thousand nine hundred thirty-nine (1,939) gallons per acre per day. All sanitary sewer systems shall meet the requirements outlined in the division of water reclamation's Sanitary Sewer Design Manual. Any deviation from these requirements shall require approval from the division of water reclamation.
