Infrastructure Strategy | 115
typically associated with light industrial space, Area 10 is expected to require approximately
440 gpm of average daily water consumption, with a peak demand of approximately 2,457
gpm. However, if a business with high water demand locates in this area (such as a hotel
or brewery), demand would be much higher. Besides domestic demand, adequate fre flow
for light industrial uses will influence the water system requirements.
The volume of water required will ultimately be determined based upon proposed building
size and use. The wide variations in fre flow needs for this land usage category preclude
even preliminary sizing of water lines for fre flows. For the purposes of this report, it is
assumed that water for daily consumption will be provided from a distribution main. It
is possible on-site storage tanks or a City owned elevated storage tank may be desirable
to provide consistent system pressure and adequate fre protection, although tanks
sometimes present water quality challenges. As more information on potential uses for the
site becomes available, this approach may be revised.
