However, where a system has such large storage facilities some provision may have to be made for water losses by seepage and evaporation. Where this cannot be accomplished with well pumps by utilizing the air in the pump column it is usually necessary to install an air compressor or air charger for each hydropneumatic tank. Disclosure of Disciplinary Action, A water system having storage facilities which can store in excess of 10% of the maximum day's demand can normally meet its customers' demands with an available water supply which will be appreciably less than the total water supply requirement.

Allowing 10% for losses from seepage and evaporation, the water supply requirement would be as follows: (16,600)(1.10) = 12.8 gallons per minute. From the formula Q = Ncf, the total water supply requirement would be (100)(3)(0.7) = 210 gallons per minute. The maximum hourly and daily demands of water systems in resort or seasonal communities can usually be estimated at about one half of the demands of a similar system for a permanent community under the same climatic conditions.
