• <br /> Elevation of highest proposed hydrant: +/-1,450 Feet(63 psi static pressure) <br /> 3) Determine Frictional Losses and Flow Velocity for Design Flow: <br /> Using Bernoulli's Equation, frictional or `head' losses may be calculated for a given pipe size, <br /> pipe material and flowrate. Determining head losses during peak hour and design flows was <br /> • performed as follows: <br /> Length of 8-inch pipe from PRV to farthest proposed hydrant: +/-2100 Linear Feet(LF) <br /> Peak hour flow head loss for 8-inch DI Pipe at 100 gpm: 0.037 Ft. HEAD/ 100 LF Pipe <br /> Design flow head loss for 8-inch DI Pipe at 1100 gpm: 2.15 Ft. HEAD/ 100 LF Pipe <br /> Head loss during peak hour flow=0.037 Ft.HEAD/ 100 LF x 2100 LF pipe =0.78 Ft.HEAD <br /> = (0.3 psi) <br /> Head loss during design flow=2.15 Ft. HEAD/ 100 LF x 2100 LF pipe =45.15 Ft.HEAD <br /> =(20 psi) <br /> 4) Determine Residual Pressure and Flow Velocities for Peak Hour& Design Flows: <br /> Using the data above,flow velocities and estimated residual pressure in the proposed system can <br /> be calculated for peak hour flow and design flow conditions: <br /> Flow velocity during peak hour flow(100 gpm)=0.83 ft/sec <br /> Peak hour flow residual pressure =highest elevation static pressure—head loss <br /> =61 psi—0.3 psi(Negligible)=61 psi>40 psi <br /> Flow velocity during design flow(1,100 gpm) =7.02 ft/sec <br /> Design flow residual pressure =static pressure at highest proposed hydrant—head loss <br /> =63 psi—20 psi (Negligible)=43 psi>20 psi <br /> Maximum velocity in distribution mains (without fire flow) is less than the maximum allowable <br /> velocity of 6 feet per second with a residual pressure of>40 psi. <br /> Maximum velocity in distribution mains with fire flow is less than the maximum allowable <br /> velocity of 10 feet per second with a residual pressure of more than 20 psi. <br /> c. Map <br /> Alternative 2—Figure 5c.1 shows the proposed water system design for Alternative 2. The <br /> proposed layout includes the installation of approximately 1,150 linear feet of 8-inch ductile iron <br /> water main,two (2) fire hydrants, 10 service laterals, 18 water meter boxes and associated <br /> appurtenances. This system would be served by a 6-inch fire service meter(master meter) <br /> tapped into the existing 8-inch DWS main within Aniani Street. This alternative would also <br /> require an easement in favor of the lid Place Owner's Association within the section of the <br /> Aniani Street ROW which contained the private water system components. <br /> • <br /> 9 <br />
