General System Information
Exception Granted: R309-550-5(4) Minimum Water Main Size | On August 3, 2015, the Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received your
request for an exception to Rule R309-550-5(4), Minimum Water Main Size. This rule specifically states that “for water mains not connected to fire
hydrants, the minimum line size shall be 4 inches in diameter”.

The basis for your request for an exception to R309-550-5(4) is that this community water system consists of seven houses and an office, which do
not require a large flow through their pipes to meet demands. After modeling the system, it was determine that in some areas, it is more appropriate
to install 3-inch lines rather than the required 4-inch lines so that velocities are enough to scour the pipes. Modeled velocities in the new 3-inch lines
are about 1.4 feet per second and in existing 3-inch lines are 2.2 feet per second or less during peak day demands. All pipeline sizing is based on
hydraulic modeling.

On this basis, an exception to R309-550-5(4), Minimum Water Main Size, is hereby granted to allow 3-inch waterlines in the distribution system
(DS001).

Exception Granted: R309-550-5(4) Minimum Water Main Size | On August 3, 2015,
the Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received your request for an exception to
Rule R309-550-5(4), Minimum Water Main Size. This rule specifically states that “for
water mains not connected to fire hydrants, the minimum line size shall be 4 inches in
diameter”.
The basis for your request for an exception to R309-550-5(4) is that this community
water system consists of seven houses and an office, which do not require a large flow
through their pipes to meet demands. After modeling the system, it was determine that
in some areas, it is more appropriate to install 3-inch lines rather than the required 4-
inch lines so that velocities are enough to scour the pipes. Modeled velocities in the
new 3-inch lines are about 1.4 feet per second and in existing 3-inch lines are 2.2 feet
per second or less during peak day demands. All pipeline sizing is based on hydraulic
modeling.
On this basis, an exception to R309-550-5(4), Minimum Water Main Size, is hereby
granted to allow 3-inch waterlines in the distribution system (DS001).
MIN | 15pts | DS | D019 | R309-550-5(4) & (5) | Rule states that the minimum line size

Exception Granted: R-309-540-5(4)(c) Individual Booster Pumps | On August 3, 2015, the Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received your
request for an exception to Rule R309-540-5(4)(c), Individual Home Booster Pumps. This rule specifically states that “individual home booster
pumps shall not be allowed for any individual service from the public water supply main”.

The basis for your request for an exception to R309-540-5(4)(c), Individual Booster Pumps is that the existing booster pump that has been used to
boost water to the office from the spring will be inactive unless there is an emergency where the well is not available and the existing spring has to
be utilized or if the line from the tank to the office is interrupted. Under normal operation, the office is fed from the well via the new storage tank. The
booster pumps allows for some redundancy in emergency situations only.

emergency use to provide the office building with water if the well is down or if the line to the office is interrupted .If this individual pump station will
be used on a regular basis or for an extended time during an emergency, you must obtain approval from the Division and submit information on
how you will address low pressure and cross connection concerns associated with individual booster pumps. Approval will need to be obtained to
