fire protection, such as fire hydrants, is provided, the system shall
be capable of providing the required fire demand plus the required
maximum daily residential demand, or the peak-hour flows indicated
in the Table for Design Standards for Peak-Hour Flow, whichever is
greater. The maximum daily demand shall be calculated by multiplying
the average daily residential demand indicated in the Table for Water
Demand/Generation by Type/Size of Housing by a factor of 1.5.
B.
In accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:21-5.2(d), the average daily residential
consumption shall be computed in accordance with the housing unit
type and size data shown in the Table for Water Demand/Generation
by Type/Size of Housing. The peak daily flows shall be computed by
applying a peaking factor of three times the average daily residential
consumption.
