Information Required for Design of Water Supply System
ITEM
REQUIREMENTS
Topographic map
For layout of system, use USGS maps for
preliminary investigations. For final
design, use specially prepared maps.
Soil maps and subsurface data prepared
from boring logs made by a competent
agency, for structural design.
Soil conditions
Soil maps and subsurface data prepared
from boring logs made by a competent
agency, for structural design.
Transportation
Facilities available for system
construction and operation.
Available normal and emergency power
from local utility or Military's own
power plant.
Local utility maps
Maps of water, sewer, drain, gas,
electrical lines, etc., for designing
the transmission and distribution
systems. Obtain detailed information
from local utility companies and
surveys.
Suitability and
For construction, operation, and
availability of
maintenance. Important when the site is
local material
remote or inaccessible.
Climate Conditions
Allow for the design & operational
impact in very cold or hot climates.
Environmental
For establishing site contamination and
Studies & Reports
other potential environmental problems.
Establish need for formal Environmental
Impact submissions.
Local code and trade
Affects design and construction.
