Water Demand Calculator Included in AWWA M22 Manual
The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials’ Water Demand Calculator has been included in the fourth edition of the American Water Works Association M22 Sizing Water Service Lines and Meters manual.
AWWA M22 is a manual of water supply practices that covers the basic principles and methods of water distribution system design and operation. It provides guidance on selecting the appropriate size of service lines and meters for various types of water users, such as residential, commercial, industrial and institutional. It also covers topics such as water pressure, water quality, water metering and water service connections.
The Water Demand Calculator reduces water aging, delivers hot water faster, generates significant construction cost savings, reduces the carbon footprint of the structure, and subsequently saves on water- and water heating-related utility bills for the entire life of the plumbing system.
