This work was done alongside Alex Waite, Gahanna Zagdabar Jenny Yu, and Jay Jimenez. We designed every pipe to be put in throughout the town, while meeting fire test regulations and minimum allowable pressures. The sanitary sewer design is what I worked the most on in order to meet the design conditions, while still maintaining feasible construction costs. My main factor for optimization was volume of soil to be excavated, in order to provide the cheapest and safest option.

Section 1 - Executive Summary
Water conveyance, sanitary sewer, and storm drain systems are essential systems
required in modern cities. Clean, potable water delivered directly to consumers’ homes and
businesses is not only a necessity but is expected to be consistently reliable. In the same way,
waste water must be conveyed away from consumers to treatment plants, and storm drains must
protect cities from flooding without fail. These three systems, when designed correctly,
facilitate a healthy living environment for people and businesses to thrive.
The purpose of this project is to design water conveyance, sanitary sewer, and storm
drain systems for the model small community shown in Figure 1. The designs are based on
assumptions given in the project problem statement as well as general engineering practices as
discussed in [***]. In order to design these systems, the demand was found for each block
based on the population for the domestic areas or the type of commercial and industrial uses for
zones A, B, and C. The basis for the demand calculations are discussed in Section ***. This
demand is subsequently used in the water distribution design and sanitary sewer design. The
storm drain system is designed using rainfall intensity analysis for the project area. The water
distribution system design is shown in Section ***, sanitary sewer design in Section ***, and
storm drain in Section ***. Methods for designing these systems are discussed in their
respective sections.
8. SECTION 2 - BACKGROUND5
Page 4 JAG – Water & Sewage Inc.
Section 2 - Background
As shown in Figure *** and stated in [***], the river located in the most north-eastern
section of the community serves as the community’s water source. The water from this river is
treated by a water treatment plant previously designed and operating currently with sufficient
capacity to meet the demand of the small community. The treatment plant treats the water to US
EPA’s drinking water standards using standard treatment processes (i.e. aeration, sedimentation,
filtration, and chlorination). Treated water is then distributed to two storage tanks (see Figure 4):
an elevated storage tank located in the upper left area above Ash St. (⊗1) and an underground
storage reservoir located in the upper right area above Highland St. (⊗2). These storage tanks
serve as the sole distribution centers for the community.

Section 3 - Project Site Analysis
The distance of each block was obtain by scaling the map provided into AutoCad thus
allowing for the length to be determine to accurate distance within 5 feet. These measurements
are required, for later, to determine the number of fire hydrants, shutoff valves, etc. per block.
Figure 1. Dimensions of Each Block

Page 6 JAG – Water & Sewage Inc.
Acreage and Population
As shown in Section ***, the acreage for each residential, commercial, and industrial
zone is estimated using CAD imaging software. Population for the residential zones is based on
the assumption of 40 persons/acre for residential zones. Table *** displays the size of the
residential zones is square feet and acres and tabulates the population by:
Population = acres x 40 persons/acre
This population is then used to determine the demand.
Demand
Daily Average, Daily Maximum, and Hourly Maximum
Demand was calculated using several assumptions. The average daily unit consumption is 100
gpcd (gallons per capita per day). This assumption is exclusive to the residential areas. The
maximum day’s consumption is 200% of average daily consumption, and the maximum hour’s
consumption is 400% of average daily consumption. The industrial zone, Zone A, has a process
consumption of 2000 gpm for 8 hours a day on working days, and no water consumption is
Figure 2. Square footage of each block
11. SECTION 3 - PROJECTSITE ANALYSIS5
Page 7 JAG – Water & Sewage Inc.
required for the remainder of the day. Peak hourly consumption for Zone A in any hour’s time
is 3000 gpm.
Using the assumptions and the population estimations for residential zones, the demand
is tabulated in Table 1.
The above figure shows the length and name of each pipeline. The pipelines will run
parallel to the street and at the center of the street. Moreover, the water distribution pipeline
will be placed above any sewage or storm water pipelines thus eliminating any cross
contamination between the water distribution system and the sewage/storm water system. The
offset will not only be in the vertical direction but also in the horizontal direction with a
minimum of three feet.

Given design criteria suggest we should use 40 persons per acre for domestic population
density. Since we have the area, we can now calculate the population using following equation.
Population=[persons/acre]*A[acre] where =40 persons/acre
Keep in mind that the population density is given in acres and areas found in square feet, so

Commercial and Industrial Zones
Commercial Demand
Commercial demand is based on a series of parameters based on the type of commercial use
[http://buildingsdatabook.eren.doe.gov/TableView.aspx?table=8.3.2]. The following
calculations for Zone B and C use several assumptions. The square footage of each
establishment is arbitrarily determined, and the number of seats or rooms in the case of the
restaurants and hotel are chosen relative to the square footage of the establishment. The gallon
per parameter requirements are chosen from
(http://buildingsdatabook.eren.doe.gov/TableView.aspx?table=8.3.2), the following commercial
establishments have been chosen along with their respective daily flow rates. The water
demands for these establishments in Zone B and Zone C along with the total demand for each
zone is displayed in Table *** and ***, respectively:
Zone B:
Restaurant 1 - 6000 sq ft, 153 seats x 24 gal/seat/day = 3672 gpd
Restaurant 2 - 3000 sq ft, 110 seats x 21 gal/seat/day = 2310 gpd
Restaurant 3 - 9000 sq ft, 230 seats x 30 gal/seat/day = 6900 gpd
Hotel - 100,000 sq ft, 180 rooms x 45,000 gal/room = 25400 gpd
Supermarket - 66000 sq ft x 50.75gal/sq ft = 9176 gpd

Industrial Demand
Concrete and ceramic manufacturing and storage will be our choice of industry, as these
have relatively low fire demands. The data for demand was calculated using the population
density times per capita industrial usage plus the daily 8 hour demand of 2000 gpm avg. To
calculate our required demand spread across all the nodes that feed the industrial area, we take
that average demand plus 10 hrs of fire demand. The fire demand was calculated to be 6000
gpm, since our products are non-combustible and the buildings will be made of relatively non-
combustible materials besides any offices present.
The average daily demand is 0.9611 mgd. The max daily demand is 1.9222 mgd, and
when added to the demand from a 10 hour fire at 6000 gpm equals 5.52 mgd. This is compared
to a maximum daily demand of 4.32 mgd using the peak hourly rate of 3000 gpm. We must
design for the highest value of 4.5617 million gallons per day. This will be spread across 6
nodes, 4 along Elm St. and 2 along Birch Ave. Leaving a demand for each node of 0.76 mgd.
This is in addition to any residential areas served by these nodes.

Fire Demand
Fire demands are calculated using
[http://ecodes.biz/ecodes_support/free_resources/idaho09/PDFs/Appendix%20B%20-%20Fire-
Flow%20Requirements.pdf]. The highest fire demand comes from the industrial zone so the
fire demand is based off of this value.
Table *** displays the total demands for the residential and commercial zones and the
industrial zone. As shown in the table, the maximum daily demand plus fire demand is greater
than the maximum hourly demand. Therefore the maximum daily demand plus fire demand is
used in the water distribution and sanitary sewer designs.
16. SECTION 4 - WATER DISTRIBUTIONSYSTEM DESIGN5
Page 12 JAG – Water & Sewage Inc.
Section 4 - Water Distribution System Design
Using the demand calculated in Section *** and as shown in Table *** for maximum
day and fire flow, a water distribution system was designed. The demand for each block is
separated into the demand for each node. First, using Figure 3, the number of nodes serving each
block is entered into Column 6. The demand per node is entered into Col. 7 by dividing Col. 4
by Col. 6. The node number is entered into Col. 8, and the blocks that node services is entered
into Col. 9. The serviced blocks are chosen by the blocks surrounding that node. The demand
on each node is then entered into Col. 10 by adding the demand per node in Col. 7 based on the
blocks serviced by that node in Col. 9. The demand is then converted to gpm (gallons per
minute) and entered into Col. 11. The flow network is then created from the demand per node.
Figure 4. Complete flow network as drawn in EPANET 2.0 for model small community
The free software EPANET 2.0 is used to create the flow network as shown in Figure 4.
The software utilizes the Hazen-Williams Formula coupled with the Hardy Cross method to
determine the flow and velocity in each pipe and the pressure at each node. The Hazen-
Williams Formula is as follows:
Q = 0.432CD2.63S0.54 (flowing full equation)
o where Q = flow (gpm)
17. SECTION 4 - WATER DISTRIBUTIONSYSTEM DESIGN5
Page 13 JAG – Water & Sewage Inc.
D = pipe diameter (ft)
S = slope (ft/ft)
C = pipe roughness coefficient
Pipe Pressure Requirements
As part of the requirements, the pipe network must be closed. The maximum
permissible pressure is 70 psi, minimum permissible pressure is 20 psi, and the minimum on
average day is 35 psi.
Pipe Materials and Roughness
Pipe materials are determined based on required diameter. For pipe diameters of 14”
thru 36” in diameter, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe per AWWA C-905, DR-18, is used. For
pipe diameters of 4” thru 12” in diameter, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, Class 150 or 200 per
AWWA C-900, is used. The Hazen-Williams roughness coefficient for these pipes is C = 140.
This value is used in the equation discussed in Section ***.
Flow Network Scenario - Background
To determine the best design based on the worst case scenario indicating the least
available storage and flow distribution, three different scenarios are run for the flow network.
First, the elevated storage acts as the only source of water in the network due to an offline
pump. The second scenario is the line connected to the elevated storage is disconnected, and
the underground reservoir connected to the pumping station is sole water source. The third
scenario consists of both the elevated and underground reservoirs acting as the water sources.
The scenario exhibiting the worst results (i.e. the worst case scenario) is chosen as the design
system. Results for the three scenarios can be found in Appendix A.
Scenario 1
In Scenario 1, the pump connected to the underground reservoir is offline, and the
elevated storage acts as the sole water source. Using Figure 5 as a reference, the height and
volume for the elevated storage is calculated as follows using the demand found in Table 5.
Design Requirements
For a given velocity range of V = 8-10 fps, the nomograph gives a diameter D = 20 – 26” for
line RR and a max headloss of hL= 20 ft/1000 ft. Minimum pressure at Node 29 = 35 psi.
Therefore, minimum pressure head at Node 29 = 35 psi * 2.31 ft/psi = 80.9 ft. Minimum
elevation head at elevated storage tower 34 using a pipe length of 175 ft for line RR is:
( 𝑦−80.9)
0.175
= 20 𝑓𝑡 gives y = 84.4 ft.
To ensure a design pressure at all nodes of 50 psi, the height of the elevated storage is
calculated as: 50 psi * 2.31 ft/psi = 115.5 ft
18. SECTION 4 - WATER DISTRIBUTIONSYSTEM DESIGN5

( 𝑦−115.5)

Storage Dimensions
For a given daily demand of 11.4 MGD, the volume of the elevated storage reservoir is
calculated as follows:

Scenario 2
In Scenario 2, the line connected to the elevated storage is disconnected, and the pump
connected to the underground reservoir acts as the sole water source for the community. The
reservoir volume and pump gpm, TDH, and BHP are calculated as follows:
Design Requirements
Variable Speed Pump
Using a variable speed pump, which allows for the pump to deliver the full flow for the
town as well as any load less than such, the total dynamic head (TDH) for the pump is
equivalent to the head required for the elevated storage tower. Therefore, TDH = 120 ft. The
pump curve is shown in Figure 6.

The underground reservoir’s bottom sits at 120 ft bgs (below ground surface) with a
maximum height of 140 ft and a diameter of 130 ft. The necessary volume for the reservoir is
equal to the necessary volume of the elevated storage as shown in Section ***.

Scenario 3
In Scenario 3, both the elevated storage and the underground reservoir serve as water
sources for the community. For this scenario, the elevated storage and the reservoir are splitting
the demand for the small community: the elevated storage supplies 4677.5 gpm and the
reservoir/pump station supplies 4677.5 gpm.
Elevated Storage and Reservoir Dimensions

The dimensions for the elevated storage are consistent with the dimensions obtained in
Section ***, and the dimensions of the underground reservoir are the same as obtained in
Section ***.
Pump Characteristics
The TDH for the variable pump is maintained at 120 ft to supply a minimum pressure of
50 psi throughout the community. For a flow of 4677.5 gpm, the pump curve then takes the

Conclusion of Water Distribution System
Using the data found in Sections ***, ***, ***, the worst case scenario for this
water distribution system is Scenario 2. This scenario requires the most amount of energy and
money to operate, produces the highest flows throughout the system’s pipes, and exhibits the
lowest pressures at all of the nodes.

Section 5 – Sanitary Sewer Design
Figure10. Sanitary Sewer System Map and Labels, Blue dots are manholes, dashed lines are pipes
See Figure 10 for system design: The lines shown are the proposed sewer pipes layout
serving their adjacent blocks. The sewage flows toward Center Street in every pipe, until
reaching the main trunk, where all pipes converge and flow toward the WWTP/River. The
larger dots indicate the location of all manholes, which are roughly located between 250 ft to
300 ft. The service areas for each line are estimated using the water supplied to each area, and
assuming water in is equal to water out. Table 11 contains most relevant data for the sanitary
sewer system.
The sanitary sewer system lies a minimum of five feet below the pressurized water
distribution piping system, and maintains a maximum distance of 13.6 ft from the ground level
elevation. This limits the possibilities for contaminants to enter the potable water distribution
system. The sanitary sewer system runs parallel with the streets and connects to the main
trunkline which runs northeast on Center St up to the river (see Figure 10).
Preliminary data of the area was observed to determine all requirements and
assumptions needed it. This data included:
Map of the area.

Locations of streets, buildings (i.e. commercial, industrial, or household) which may
impact the sewer system.
Contour, high and low point and changes of surface slope.
Furthermore, the design involves estimating the waste flow rates for the assume data with local
conditions given by the map. These factors may affect the hydraulic operation of the system;
the hydraulic-design, sewer pipe materials, minimum and maximum sizes (i.e. diameter),
minimum and maximum velocity and slopes of the system.
The design of a sanitary sewer system may be essentially broken down into four steps:
Sewer material and size: This is important to facilitate velocities that prevent solids
deposition/buildup, ensure minimal corrosion effects from wastewater, and avoid
clogging of the system.
Design flow: The important factors here are the peak flow of the service area.
Peak Factor: PF = 15.05 x Q-0.167
Hydraulic Design equation: Manning equation, and Modified Manning equation.

Where K prime is equal to 0.463 for flowing Half full
Minimum and Maximum Velocity: In practice, these values are determine to get a
minimum velocity as the sewer system is half-full and full. The importance of this is to ensure
that there is no deposition of solids along the pipe. Moreover, this helps with corrosion
prevention for the system, although that is already minimal due to the use of PVC piping.
The modified manning eqn was used to obtain a minimum diameter for each pipe when
flowing half full, then we adjusted the slope in order to accommodate topography as well as
pipe intersections. This caused a large amount of work to balance out slope vs diameter, while
maintaining all design parameter ranges.
The required flows were determined using the known supply across the service areas of
the sewer pipe, assuming water in is equal to water out. This causes problems though, since not
all the water will need to be transported to the WWTP. For example, a large portion of the fire
flows will not become waste water, even if the industrial park uses an extensive drainage
system. We have decided to err on the side of caution, since the purpose of this design is to
ensure the system does not exceed capacity and become pressurized, which could cause the
hydraulic gradient to rise above the surface of the ground, creating a huge health concern and
causing environmental damages.
Important things to notice below are the minimal depth below ground that is maintained
throughout the system. The elevations labeled on the right are the starting and ending elevations
for each pipe length, the color coding indicates which pipes meet and ensure they are at the
same invert elevation. The system is also design so that no large pipe feeds into a smaller pipe,
and minimum pipe size is maintained whenever possible. See appendix for the full sanitary
sewer design table.

Page 30 JAG – Water & Sewage Inc.
Section 6 - Storm Drain Design
Figure 11. Storm Drain Design Map
Designed storm drain system lies 5 ft. below and ** feet parallel to the sanitary sewer system.
Inlets are located at the indicated location on Figure 11 represented by a dot. Dots indicate two
parallel curbe inlets that are located either side of the road. Inlets are joined into a single
underground line below road surface and flows downstream by gravity. The overall layout of
the system is similar to the sanitary design with few minor differences. Unlike sanitary system
that has one main line, storm drains have two larger pipes that carries the cumulated runoffs
from upstream. The vertical line starting on Ashmount Street runs along Acorn until Forrest
collecting runoffs from Ash and Sycmore streets on the way, and ends at Forrest. The pipe
diameter is calculated to be 22 inches, and the line is indicated as line (4) in Figure 11. The same
main line with same diameter, then, continues horizontally downward on Forrest streets as a
line (5) also collecting cumulative runoffs from line (3) and line (4). The other main line is
parallel to Center St, like a sanitary design, and it has a diameter of 30 inches. It is slightly
bigger than line (4) and (5) because it essentially carries the total runoffs of the community.
Rest of the lines are uniform in their pipe diameters with 16 inches, and majority of them have
same ground slope. Our storm drain system lies directly ** ft. above and parallel to our sewer
design minimizing the excavation expenses. Thus, it follows same outline as the sewer system.
We calculated necessary quantities including flow and concentration time based on following
assumptions.
Assumptions: ti=5 min (inlet time)
C=0.70 (commercial) C=0.40 (residential) C=0.80 (industrial)

The assumptions and given data help us to find desired design values. Table 12 shows the
obtained data for each specified location. Columns (1) through (3) describe the layout and
starting point of each pipe and columns (4) through (6) show the given values that will be used
to calculate the subsequent data. Column (7) displays the assumed C values differing
residential, commercial, and industrial zones. Assuming an inlet time of 5 min, time of
concentration was calculated using the following equations:
𝑡𝑡 =
𝐿
𝑉
where L=length of pipe
V=velocity
𝑡𝑡 = 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑙
𝑡 𝑐 = 𝑡𝑖 + 𝑡𝑡 where 𝑡 𝑐=time of concentration
From there, intensity was obtained using a 5 year intensity-duration curve. Then Q was
calculated using
Q=CIA where C= runoff coefficient [runoff/rainfall]
I= rainfall intensity [in/hr]
A=drainage area [acres]
and was then used to find the slope and diameter with assumed velocity on the Nomograph
(n=0.013). Diameter was adjusted to standard pipe sizes in column (16). Velocity flowing full
was calculated using the following equation and displayed on column (17):

R= hydraulic radius (Π/4)

Capacity of the storm sewer in column (18) was obtained multiplying the area and the velocity
flowing full using the equation Q=VA. Given ground elevation is tabulated in column (19) and
(20) and inlet elevation is calculated by deducting assumed 5 feet depth. Storm drain layout can
be seen in Figure 11 with lines and inlets are labeled.
