Design flow means the anticipated daily discharge from a building as determined in accordance with Sections IV and VIII F of the Technical Standards.
Design flow means the maximum volume of sewage a residence, structure, or other facility is estimated to generate in a twenty-four-hour period. It incorporates both an operating capacity and a surge capacity for the system during periodic heavy use events. The sizing and design of the on-site sewage system components are based on the design flow.
