Supply number = 2800 gpm between the two water lines
Demand number = 1644 gpm (estimated maximum with everything going)
At 100% capacity for 8hrs a day for 180 days, the total water consumption matches 4000 homes for one year. (Bryan‐College Station Unified Design Guidelines (Domestic Water) Table 1 pageStation Unified Design Guidelines (Domestic Water), Table 1 page 13 says that one household uses 100 gallons per day)
