Your plant was designed for 10,000 EDUs and 2.5 MGD capacity. Your records show 9,600 EDUs sold and plant flows are 1.7 MGD. A developer approaches you looking to build 500 EDUs. What do you do?
This session will explore how agencies can re-think capacity in an era of draught.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to describe how water conservation has changed the typical wastewater Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) criteria.
Participants will be able to describe the ways in which water conservation changes the way agencies need to think about development and master planning.
Participants will be able to identify statistical analysis tools to help redefine EDU criteria and anticipate the impacts of future development units.
Participants will describe changes to traditional development and master planning methodology that can address the disconnect between current and future wastewater conditions, existing plant design and development criteria.
