<br /> 936 Venkat Yendapalli: Okay, so,you're quoting 1 gallon per minute per house. Does it accommodate their irrigation
<br /> 937 needs and, and water and all that? Is there enough pressure for them to,get their yards and lawns
<br /> 938 and whatever.
<br /> 939
<br /> 940 David Barcal: If you look at the state rule, public water sector, the way they look at it, they just look at the
<br /> 941 potable water use, not the irrigation use,which is why you get the .56 gallons per minute that they
<br /> 942 require. A lot of the private utilities have taken it upon themselves to up that requirement, so, they
<br /> 943 won't actually, most of them will not accept the system with less than 1 gallon per connection to
<br /> 944 make up for that irrigation. So, that's the reason why they have that higher standard,so they can
<br /> 945 meet the pressure demands of the neighborhood. People want nice, irrigated yards and that.
<br /> 946
<br /> 947 Venkat Yendapalli: Okay. Thank you.
<br /> 948
<br /> 949 Beth Bronson: Sorry if you don't mind just staying up there for just a minute. Is it okay if I go over my questions,
<br /> 950 then?
<br /> 951
<br /> 952 David Barcal: Oh, yeah, go ahead.
<br /> 953
<br /> 954 Beth Bronson: So,you were saying that the requirement is .5 gallons per minute.
<br /> 955
<br /> 956 David Barcal: What they do is, if you look at public water standard they say 400 gallons per day per connection,
<br /> 957 and then they assume 12 hours of pump time for your well. They do 400 divided by 12, divided by
<br /> 958 60. That gets you the .555 gallons per minute.
<br /> 959
<br /> 960 Beth Bronson: You're not talking about your actual output.
<br /> 961
<br /> 962 David Barcal: Yeah. So, that's the output of the actual well. What it has to do per connection.
<br /> 963
<br /> 964 Beth Bronson: And this may be a question for you and for Ward, too, because it's, it's well and septic related, so,
<br /> 965 with the well,you are asking for, it's at 600 feet, and it was over 80 gallons per minute, right?The
<br /> 966 idea being that this community well will service 49 four-bedroom homes?
<br /> 967
<br /> 968 David Barcal: Yes.
<br /> 969
<br /> 970 Beth Bronson: That's correct? The idea that you wouldn't be at half a gallon a minute if all 49 people turned their
<br /> 971 well on or turned their water on at the same time.
<br /> 972
<br /> 973 David Barcal: The way public water looks at it,the number of connections you're allowed is one thing. So,that's
<br /> 974 the .56. Then they have you look at your peak demand storage,which in this case we have been
<br /> 975 proposing a 5,400-gallon hydromatic tank. So,the rule says, basically,you take your peak
<br /> 976 demand minus the yield of your well, and then you times it by 20 minutes,and then,there's a
<br /> 977 formula to come up with your minimum amount of volume you have to be able to push out of your
<br /> 978 storage tank.
<br /> 979
<br /> 980 Beth Bronson: This makes sense. Yes.
<br /> 981
<br /> 982 David Barcal: That's what size is to meet your peak demand, so, like, you're saying,you get everyone showering
<br /> 983 at 7 a.m. and then,or everyone using their water at night.
<br /> 984
<br /> 985 Ward Marotti: Just let me clarify. It's not coming from the withdrawal well to the house. It's through the storage
<br /> 986 tank and thereby accommodates peak flow,yes.
