Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good minimum night flow target?
Well-maintained systems should achieve MNF of less than 10 litres per connection per hour. Systems exceeding 20 litres per connection per hour typically have significant leakage requiring intervention.
How many DMAs does a typical BC municipality need?
DMA sizing depends on network complexity, but 500-3000 connections per zone is standard. A municipality with 50,000 connections might require 25-50 DMAs for comprehensive coverage.
