City of Morgan Hill Water System Master Plan 2017

Chapter 4 - Existing Domestic Water Facilities. This chapter provides a description of the City’s existing domestic water system facilities including the existing wells, pressure zones, distribution mains, storage reservoirs, and booster pump stations. Chapter 5 - Water Demands and Supply Characteristics. This chapter summarizes existing domestic water demands, identifies potential recycled water demands, and projects the future domestic water demands. Chapter 6 - Hydraulic Model Development. This chapter describes the development and calibration of the City’s domestic water distribution system hydraulic model. The hydraulic model was used to evaluate the capacity adequacy of the existing system and to plan its expansion to service anticipated future growth. Chapter 7 - Evaluation and Proposed Improvements. This section presents a summary of the domestic water system evaluation and identifies improvements needed to mitigate existing deficiencies, as well as improvements needed to expand the system and service growth. Chapter 8 - Capital Improvement Program. This chapter provides a summary of the recommended domestic water system improvements to mitigate existing capacity deficiencies and to accommodate anticipated future growth. The chapter also presents the cost criteria and methodologies for developing the capital improvement program. Finally, a capacity allocation analysis, usually used for cost sharing purposes, is also included.

1.8 UNIT CONVERSIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

Engineering units were used in reporting flow rates and volumes pertaining to the design and operation of various components of the domestic water distribution system. Where it was necessary to report values in smaller or larger quantities, different sets of units were used to describe the same parameter. Values reported in one set of units can be converted to another set of units by applying a multiplication factor. A list of multiplication factors for units used in this
