Mutual Water Companies Formed in Connection With Subdivided Lands
Cal. CORP § 14314
California Statutes
The water supply and distribution system of a mutual water company described in
Section that proposes to distribute water for domestic use pursuant to this
chapter shall comply with all of the following design standards: (
a) The system shall be adequate to maintain normal operating pressure of not less than pounds per square inch, nor more than pounds per square inch, at the service connection; provided, however, that during periods of hourly maximum demand, or at the time of peak seasonal loads, the pressure may be reduced to not less than pounds per square inch, and during periods of hourly minimum demand the pressure may increase to not more than pounds per square inch. Variations in pressure under normal operation shall not exceed percent of the average operating pressure.
The average operating pressure shall be determined by computing the arithmetical average of at least consecutive hourly pressure readings. (
b) The quantity of water delivered to the distribution system from all source facilities shall be sufficient to supply adequately, dependably, and safely the total requirements of all water consumers under maximum consumption, and shall be sufficient to maintain the pressure specified by subdivision (a). (
c) The distribution system shall provide at least one connection per service and, to the extent feasible, shall be designed in a property segmented grid so as to do both of the following:
(1) Minimize the extent of interruption in water service when repairs are necessary.
(2) Avoid dead ends in its water mains.
