Alan Plummer Associates, Inc. <br />Water Master Plan Update 2016 <br /> <br />2.3.3 Pumping Capacity <br />TCEQ requirements for pumping are dependent upon available elevated storage. When a City <br />has less than 200 gallons per connection of elevated storage (as does San Marcos), then the <br />required pumping capacity is the lesser of 2.0 gallons per minute (gpm) per connection or the <br />ability to meet peak hour demands with firm pumping capacity and a total capacity of at least <br />1,000 gpm. The calculated demand based on 2.0 gpm per connection would require a pumping <br />capacity significantly greater than the current or future planned facilities for the City. Therefore, <br />the ability to meet peak hour demands with firm pumping capacity is evaluated for current and <br />future conditions. <br />Table 2-5 displays the existing pumping facility information compared to the peak hour demands <br />for each pressure plane. Table 2-6 shows the same information for 2035. As can be seen in <br />these tables, the City has adequate existing and planned pumping capacity to meet the TCEQ <br />requirements. <br />2-9 <br />m:\projects\0600\022-01\doc\report\draft\draftmasterplan-v15_hef.docx <br /> <br />
