A water supply system is being designed to serve a new community with an expected population of 28,000 people. The community will also have a 40,000 square foot auditorium, built of fire-resistive construction. What should be the design flow capacity of the main distribution pipeline (gpm)? What is the needed fire flow (gpm) and duration (hr)? What volume of reservoir or storage tank is required (gal)? Design flow capacity (gpm): .756 Needed Fire Flow (gpm): 17.05 NFF Duration (hr): 39.22 Reservoir capacity (gal): 20.25*10*8
