Sec. 2.

(a) The calculated average and peak flowrate values required for a water main extension to a public water system shall be equal to the average and peak daily consumer demands of the proposed additional service connections calculated as follows:

(1) The public water supply quantity requirement for the average daily consumer demand for residential service connections shall be determined by using a general average daily demand value. The following method shall be used to calculate average and peak supply quantity requirements:

ADCD = (General Avg) × PRSC

PDCD = (ADCD × PF) + FF

Where: ADCD = Average daily consumer demand in gallons per residential service connection per day.

PDCD = Peak daily consumer demand in gallons per residential service connection per day.

General Avg = General average daily consumer demand value of five hundred (500) gallons per residential service connection per day. PRSC = Proposed number of residential service connections.

PF = Peak daily consumer demand factor of two and one-half (2.5).

FF = Fire flow demand value equal to the fire protection flowrate provided by the public water system or zero (0) if the public water system is not providing fire protection.

(2) The public water supply quantity requirement for the average and peak daily consumer demand for residential service connections may be determined from the monthly reports of operations (MROs) as follows:
(A) The following method may be used to calculate average and peak supply quantity requirements for a public water system that has been in operation for at least ten (10) years and has an accurate record of MROs for that time period:

ADCD = (Max Average) × PRSC

PDCD = (ADCD × PF) + FF

Where: ADCD = Average daily consumer demand in gallons per residential service connection per day.

PDCD = Peak daily consumer demand in gallons per residential service connection per day.

Max Average = Maximum average daily consumer demand in gallons per service connection as calculated by:

Max Average = (ADCD10) ÷ (SC10)

Where: ADCD10 = The highest average daily demand as reported on the MROs over the previous ten (10) year period.

SC10 = The number of service connections at ADCD10. PRSC = Proposed number of residential service connections. PF = Peak daily demand factor as calculated by the following:

PF = MDD10 ÷ 10YADD

Where: MDD10 = The maximum single day demand as reported on the MROs over the previous ten (10) year period.

10YADD = The ten (10) year average daily demand as calculated from the previous ten (10) year period.

FF = Fire flow demand value equal to the fire protection flowrate provided by the public water system or zero (0) if the public water system is not providing fire protection.

(B) If a public water service has not been in operation for at least ten (10) years, then all available MROs shall be used to determine the highest average daily demand (ADCD10), the number of service connections at ADCD10 (SC10), the maximum single day demand (MDD10), and the ten (10) year average daily demand (10YADD).

(3) The public water supply quantity requirement for the average and peak daily consumer demand for service connections described by Table 2-1 in subsection (b). The following method may be used to calculate the average and peak public water supply quantity requirements:

ADCD = DCF × PSC

PDCD = (ADCD × PF) + FF

Where: ADCD = Average daily consumer demand in gallons per service connection per day.

PDCD = Peak daily consumer demand in gallons per service connection per day.

DCF = Demand calculation factors as contained in Table 2-1 in subsection (b).

PSC = Proposed number of service connections.

PF = Peak daily consumer demand factor of two and one-half (2.5).

FF = Fire flow demand value equal to the fire protection flowrate provided by the public water system or zero (0) if the public water system is not providing fire protection.

(4) If the average and peak daily consumer demand cannot be determined or calculated using the methods described in subdivision (1), (2), or (3), the determination of the average and peak daily consumer demand must be approved by the commissioner. The source and any calculations or assumptions must be approved by the commissioner. (b) The following demand calculation factors shall be used in the calculations under subsection(a)(3):
