For groundwater supply systems with more than 50 connections, what is the minimum required total storage capacity per connection?

The minimum required total storage capacity per connection for groundwater supply systems with more than 50 connections is set at 200 gallons. This requirement ensures that there is a sufficient water supply for both daily usage and peak demand situations. Adequate storage capacity is crucial for maintaining water pressure, providing a buffer during periods of high consumption, and ensuring that there is enough water stored to handle emergencies such as main breaks or power outages.

In practice, 200 gallons per connection is designed to facilitate the reliable distribution of water, promoting the health and safety of the community served by the groundwater system. This regulation reflects industry standards aimed at ensuring that systems are adequately prepared to meet their operational demands and protect public health.
