b)         The average daily usage estimate must be increased when large uses such as irrigation, filling swimming pools, and service to commercial or industrial establishments are known or anticipated.

 

c)         When records are not available, maximum demand must be calculated as 1.5 times the average daily usage.

 

d)         For Sections 604.1345 and 604.1350, peak hourly flow must be calculated using six times the average daily usage and converted into units of gallons per minute.
