I/I Why Is There A Problem?• The sanitary sewers are meant to carry only
wastewater, which comes from fixtures such as sinks,
toilets, bathtubs, showers and washers.• This wastewater then enters the septic tank, where
the liquid portion is pumped out and conveyed toTreatment Facility.
• When infiltration and inflow enter the sanitary sewer,they take up pipe space that is required for thewastewater.
• The infiltration and inflow can cause sewer backupsand overflows into the environment during wetweather.
•
They can also cause overloading at the treatmentfacilit .22
8/17/2019 2Lecture;Wastewater Flow Rates
23/87
What Is The Solution?
23
Wastewater collection systems must be properly sized toconvey the wastewater discharged to the collectionsystem.
Inflow that is connected to the sanitary sewer systemmust be diverted to an acceptable location. This flowbelongs on the ground surface or in drainage ditches.
Infiltration can be reduced by repairing existing leaky
pipelines, manholes and septic tanks.

A large city has measured high flow rates during the wet season of the year. The flow rates during the dry period of the year, whenrainfall is rare and groundwater infiltration is negligible, averages128,000 m 3/d. During the wet period when groundwater levels areelevated, the flow rate averaged 240,000 m 3/d excluding those daysduring and following any significant rainfall events. During a recentstorm, hourly flow rates were recorded during the peak flow periodas well as several days following the storm. The flow rate plots areshown in the accompanying figure. Compute the infiltration and
inflow and determine if the infiltration is excessive. Excessiveinfiltration is defined by the local regulatory agency as rates over0.752 m 3/d. mm-km of the sewer. The composite diameter-length of the sewer system is 270,000 mm-km.

Example 3
A small community water supply agency furnisheswater to 147 customers from a well supply. Waterrecords are kept showing the amount of waterpumped to the system. The agency recently installedmeters for all customers and total water sales recordsare also kept. The following data are obtained.

Example 3 Contd:
Determine the amount of water consumed
(gal/capita.d) and the amount of water that isunaccounted system loss (as a percent of production).The average household size as determined by thelocal planning agency is 2.43 persons per service.
8/17/2019 2Lecture;Wastewater Flow Rates

Determine the average daily per capita waterconsumption for the period of record.

Answer-Example 3
Use the sales records because that provides the actualamount of water measured as used by the customers.

• Determine unaccounted system losses.
36
Answer-Example 3 Contd:
The difference between the production rate and salesrepresents unaccounted system losses and leakage.
Unaccounted system losses
=(46,116 − 35,046 )
46,116× 100% = 24%
Comment: metering errors often account for a large percentage of
system losses and records of meter calibration need to be checked.Differences in production and consumption as large as those in theabove example are significant and require investigation. If water
production records are used without investigating unaccountedlosses, the computed consumption rates may be in error.

Variations in Wastewater flow rates Contd:
8/17/2019 2Lecture;Wastewater Flow Rates
41/87
Wastewater flow can vary significantly from day today or Hour to Hour. Minimum hourly flows of zeroare typical for residential dwellings. Maximumhourly flows as high as 100 gallons (380 L/hr).
41
Variations in Wastewater flow rates Contd:
This is due to the variability of typical fixture andappliance usage characteristics and residential wateruse demands.
Hourly flows exceeding this rate can occur in casesof plumbing fixture failure and appliance misuse(e.g., broken pipe or fixture, faucets left running).
Variations in Wastewater flow rates Contd:
8/17/2019 2Lecture;Wastewater Flow Rates

Peak Flow Rates
• The peak flow rate from a residential dwelling is afunction of the fixtures and appliances present and their
position in the plumbing system configuration. 42
Peak wastewater flows for single-family home
Variations in Wastewater flow rates Contd:
8/17/2019 2Lecture;Wastewater Flow Rates
43/87
• The peak discharge rate from a given fixture or applianceis typically around 5 gallons/ minute (19 liters/minute),
with the exception of the tank-type toilet and possiblyhot tubs and bathtubs.• The use of several fixtures or appliances simultaneously
can increase the total flow rate above the rate forisolated fixtures or appliances.
• However, attenuation occurring in the residentialdrainage system tends to decrease peak flow ratesobserved in the sewer pipe leaving the residence.
• Although field data are limited, peak discharge rates froma single-family dwelling of 5 to 10 gallons/minute (19 to38 liters/minute) can be expected.
43
This variability can affect treatment systems by potentiallycausing hydraulic overloads of the system during peak flowconditions.

Reduction of wastewater flow rates• Because of the importance of conserving both resources and
energy, various means for reducing wastewater flow rates andpollutant loadings from domestic sources are gaining increasingattention.
80
• The reduction of wastewater flow rates from domestic sourcesresults directly from the reduction in interior water use.
• Therefore, the terms " interior water use " and " domestic wastewater flow rates " are used interchangeably.

Faucet aerators
• Faucet aerators mix air and water as the water leaves the spout.•
They reduce both the flow rate and splashing, while increasing areasof coverage and wetting efficiency. This conserves water and improvesfaucet performance at the same time.
