I , AVERAGE CONSLIMPTION
I Based on the ana lys is o f the water records provided by the U t i l i t i e s Con~niission
and experience gained i n o the r s i m i l a r mun i c i pa l i t i e s i n Eastern Ontario, the
ove ra l l average day consumption r a t e was s e t a t 175 ga l lons per cap i ta per day
(796 L/p/d) . This average day consumption r a t e i n c l udes a1 1 r es i den t i a l , com-
merc ia l and i n d u s t r i a l consumption, as we l l as an assumed quan t i t y f o r l o s t o r
I unaccounted-for water. This quan t i t y i s somewhat high, which i s due i n par t , t o
the l a rge amount o f unaccounted-for water. An approximate breakdown o f the
average day r a t e i s summarized i n Table No. 2, fo l lowing:
TABLE NO. 2
AVERAGE DAY CONSUMPTION
Res ident ia l 60 gpcd (273 L/p/d) (34%)
I n d u s t r i a l 50 gpcd (227 L/p/d) (29%)
Unaccounted-for Water 65 gpcd (296 L/p/d) (37%)
175 gpcd (796 L/p/d) (100%)
Lands designated f o r I n s t i t u t i o n a l and Commercial purposes i n Brockvi 11 e, represent
about l b% of the t o t a l serv ice area. These lands, because they a re interspersed
w i t h the r e s i d e n t i a l land, and have the same consumption charac te r i s t i cs , have
been included w i t h the r e s i d e n t i a l areas, i n t o one "Domestic" c l a s s i f i c a t i o n .
Examination o f the meter records f o r the past 4 years showed t h a t approximately
37% o f a l l water pumped i n t o the system was n o t metered. Since a l l b u t a few
houses i n the City have water meters, t h i s quan t i t y o f approximately 65 gpcd
(296 L/p/d) i s assumed t o be unaccounted-for. This quan t i t y i s considered t o be
q u i t e h igh and could be due t o leakage from the o lde r mains and house connections.
The normal accepted value i s 15 t o 20 percent o f average day quan t i t i e s and i n -
cludes water f o r f i r e s , s t r e e t f l u sh ing and feedermain breaks, e tc . This unac-
counted-for water has been included w i t h both the Domestic and I n d u s t r i a l average
day consumption, which a re as fo l lows:

MAXIMUM CONDITIONS
A water d i s t r i b u t i o n system must be capable o f supp ly ing t h e maximum hour l y demand
t o any p o i n t i n the system, a t such t ime as i s requ i red . The f low cond i t i ons t h a t
p u t t h e most s t r a i n on t h e network have been assumed t o occur on the day o f
maximum demand and a re summarized as fo l l ows :
1. Maximum hour r e s i d e n t i a l consumption, occur ing i n t h e
evening, when lawn water ing i s added t o t h e normal r e s i d e n t i a l
consumption.

Se lec t i on of t he best o p t i o n depends on many fac to rs , such as topography, range

and s i z e o f t h e major components w i t h i n t h e system, such as p lan ts , rese rvo i r s ,

As t h e Water D i s t r i b u t i o n System grows and the consumption demands increase, the
pressure losses i n t h e system due t o t h e f r i c t i o n w i l l a l so increase, thus lower-

ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM
A l l of the C i t y south o f Highway No. 401 , w i t h the exception o f the southeast

CITY SYSTEM
When a l l p resent ly zoned lands a re f u l l y developed, the C i t y could conta in
approximately 3,450 acres (1 396 ha) o f serv iced land and a p o p ~ ~ l a t i o n o f up t o
35, 250 persons. An add i t i ona l 1500 persons adjacent t o the southeast corner

Pressure Zone I 1
The e x i s t i n g d i s t r i b u t i o n system nor th o f Highway No. 401 can be e a s i l y i so l a ted

Ferguson Dr ive t o Parkdale Avenue i n the v i c i n i t y o f Highway No. 401, as ind icated
on the Master Plan. A l l of the area nor th of Highway No. 401 would then be suppl ied
through the 20-inch (500 mm) feeder main on North Augusta Dr ive and the proposed
20-inch (500 mm) feeder main along Ormond S t ree t i n t o the Parkdale Reservoir Pumping
Stat ion. A new s t a t i o n w i l l be requ i red t o supply Zone I1 as we l l as a 20-inch

strengthen the supply t o the i n d u s t r i a l area i n the northeast, as we l l as t o supply
the res i den t i a l area t o the northwest.
The southern sect ion o f the i n d u s t r i a l area i n the east p a r t o f the zone w i l l be

Ca l i fo rn ia Avenue nor th o f Lau r i e r Boulevard and a 16-inch (400 mm) feeder main
nor th t o Centennial Road.
SYSTEM STORAGE
As s ta ted e a r l i e r , s u f f i c i e n t quan t i t i e s of water should be stored w i t h i n the system

As can be seen, the on ly e x i s t i n g water storage ava i lab le i n the system i s the

has the capabil i t i e s t o produce, pump and d i s t r i b u t e more than the present average

The e x i s t i n g Parkdale Avenue Reservoir was constructed t o provide f o r extension
t o 4 mg (18.18 ML) and the s i t e has room fo r t h i s expansion. It i s recommended
t h a t a 2 mg (9.09 ML) extension t o the e x i s t i n g rese rvo i r be undertaken when r e -

a SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
As s ta ted i n Sect ion 4, the l a t e s t review o f the f i r e p ro tec t i on c a p a b i l i t i e s o f

f i c i e n c i e s because o f t he l a r g e number o f 4-inch (100 mm) d i s t r i b u t i o n mains w i t h
hydrants and because the capac i ty o f mains reduces w i t h age. A number o f new mains
have been shown on the Master ~l an i n t he o l de r areas o f the City t o strengthen the
sys tem .
'The Insure rs ' Advisory Organizat ion repor t , dated February 1, 1977, recommends t h a t
the minimum s i z e fo r mains used f o r hydrant supply should be 6-inch (150 mm) i n res-
i d e n t i a l areas and 8- inch (200 m) i n commercial areas and on dead end mains. I t i s
recommended t h a t a cont inu ing programme o f p a r a i l e l i ng o r rep1 a c i ng a1 1 4-inch
(100 mm) mains which have hydrant connections be undertaken as o ther improvements
a re done i n t h a t area, unless hydrant t e s t i n g ind ica tes adequate f l ow and pres-
sure from the main under f i r e f l ow condi t ions. This may be obtained i n some areas
w i t h jud ic ious reinforcement o f t he system. Dup l i ca t ion o f e x i s t i n g mains by i n -
s t a l l i n g a new main on the s t r e e t w i t h t he hydrant connection and leav ing t he o l d
main w i t h the serv ice connections can o f t e n be advantageous i n improving system
f lows and pressures.
The c a p a b i l i t y o f watermains t o convey water depends on the mater ia l , diameter
and f r i c t i o n c o e f f i c i e n t o f the p ipe and the ava i l ab le grad ient of a l lowable head
loss per u n i t length. O f these parameters, the f r i c t i o n c o e f f i c i e n t o f un l ined ----'-- ___C-.___.___._ --..-I__

The l o s t capac i ty o f fe r rous mains can be recovered by c leaning the main w i t h
foam swab o r by c lean ing and cement mortar l i n i n g o f t h e main. The foam swab
method gives a temporary recovery as new tubercu l a t i o n and cor ros ion w i 11 reduce
the capac i ty again i n t ime. The cement mortar 1 i n i n g i s a more expensive method,
b u t i t gives a permanent recovery o f l o s t capac i ty t o a t l e a s t 85 percent o f the
new capaci ty, as we l l as improving the safety o f the water from a hea l th standpoint .
A m a j o r i t y o f the watermains south o f Highway No. 401 a re cas t i r o n w i thou t cement,
mortar l i n i n g and more than 75% of these a re more than 25 years o ld . The c leaning
and/or l i n i n g o f a l l feeder mains 8- inch (200 mm) and l a r g e r would g rea t l y improve
the f i r e f l ow c a p a b i l i t i e s i n t he downtown area. It i s be1 ieved 1 i n i n g o f the
mains could a lso reduce the quan t i t y o f unaccounted-for water i n the system.
From comments made by the Pub1 i c U t i l i t i e s Commission personnel , i t i s under-
stood t h a t l i n i n g may be imprac t i ca l i n some o f t he o l de r mains, because o f the

I n t h e preceding sect ion, t h e proposed water d i s t r i b u t i o n system i s developed
and t h e method o f ope ra t i on i s discussed. A b r i e f summary o f t h e major
recommendations i s g iven below f o r convenience.
SUlJDJlARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
It i s recommended t h a t :
a ) A second pressure zone f o r t h e area n o r t h o f Highway No. 401, as shown on
F igure No. 1 , w i t h a h y d r a u l i c grade 1 i n e of 520 f e e t (1 59 m) be c reated
a t an e a r l y date. A separate pumping s t a t i o n w i t h an u l t i m a t e capac i t y o f
10 mgd (45.46 ML) w i l l be requ i red on t h e Parkdale Avenue Reservoi r s i t e .
b ) The proposed mains be const ruc ted i n accordance w i t h a phased programme, as
o u t l i n e d i n t h e f o l l o w i n g paragraphs o r as necess i ta ted by consumption
demands and development .
c ) 'The Water P u r i f i c a t i o n P l a n t cont inue t o supply t h e average o f maximum day
q u a n t i t i e s , w i t h both maximum hour demand and emergency supply t o come
from storage loca ted i n t h e system.
d ) A 2 mg (9.09ML) Ground Storage Reservoi r extension be added t o t h e e x i s t i n g
Parkdale Avenue r e s e r v o i r a t such t ime as a d d i t i o n a l s torage i s requ i red .
The e x i s t i n g Zone I Pumping S t a t i o n w i l l be extended o r modi f ied a t t h a t
t ime. No a d d i t i o n a l land i s requ i red f o r the r e s e r v o i r extension.
e ) An Elevated Tank be loca ted on Broadway Avenue near Oxford Avenue, a t o r
above ground e l e v a t i o n 335 (102 m) so t h a t t h i s e levated tank can be more
f u l l y u t i l i z e d t o reduce pressure f luc tuat ions. A top water l e v e l (TWL) a t
approximately e leva t ion 470 (143 m) would be desired. This tank w i l l be re -
qu i red a t such t ime as system demands increase such as t o render the e x i s t i n g
tank i n e f f e c t i v e dur ing peak demand periods when i t i s required. A t such
t ime as the new tank i s required, there should be a de ta i led analysis t o
determine whether i t would be t o the Commission's advantage t o move the
e x i s t i n g 0.5 mg (2.27 ML) elevated tank t o t h i s s i t e , o r t o purchase a new
tank. Land should be s e t aside f o r t h i s Elevated Tank as soon as poss ib le
(0.5 acres (0.2 ha.)).
f ) The water consumption s t a t i s t i c s be reviewed annual ly as the populat ion
grows and compared t o forecasts i n t h i s r e p o r t f o r adjustment o f phasing
and scope of the proposed works.
g) The Master Plan he reviewed every f i v e years and a1 so when major development o r zoning changes a re contempl ated .
h) Local watermains no t included i n the system plan be s ized t o ca r ry the
requ i red f i r e f l ow i n accordance w i t h the "Water Supply f o r Pub1 i c F i r e
Protect ion, A Guide t o Recommended Pract ice - 1977", issued by the
Insurers ' Advisory Organization .
i ) A programme be continued o f rep lac ing and r e i n f o r c i n g the small mains and
improving and completing the loop system o f the l oca l d i s t r i b u t i o n mains,
espec ia l l y i n the o l de r areas, t o ensure, as f a r as possible, t h a t a l l f i r e
hydrants a re connected t o 6-inch diameter (150 mm) mains o r la rger .
j ) A l l new d u c t i l e i r o n pipes and f i t t i n g s be cement mortar 1 ined t o r e t a i n - good f r i c t i o n cha rac te r i s t i c s f o r a l ong t ime t o come.
k ) A programme be se t up t o inves t iga te the p o s s i b i l i t i e s o f c leaning by swab
o r c leaning and cement mortar 1 i n i n g o f a l l o l de r mains, 8-inches (200 mm)
i n diameter and l a rge r , i n the C i t y , t o decrease f r i c t i o n loss and increase
capaci ty o f the l oca l d i s t r i b u t i o n system. This w i l l increase the f i r e pro-
t e c t i o n c a p a b i l i t i e s i n these areas, as wel l as decrease the quan t i t y o f
unaccounted f o r water i n the system.
1) A programme o f leak de tec t ion and e l im ina t i on be continued i n an at tempt
t o i d e n t i f y , con t ro l and reduce the amount o f unaccounted-for water i n
the system. Because o f the l a r g e quan t i t y o f unaccounted-for water, such
a programme i s des i r ab le i n an at tempt t o reduce water product ion quan t i t -
ies , t o reduce operat ing and pumping costs and delay feeder main
const ruct ion.
PHASING OF WORKS
