Peak Flow Limitations Clause Samples
The Peak Flow Limitations clause sets a maximum threshold for the volume or rate of a resource—such as water, gas, or electricity—that can be delivered or used within a specified period. In practice, this clause may restrict a customer from exceeding a certain flow rate, with monitoring systems in place to track usage and potential penalties or service adjustments if the limit is surpassed. Its core function is to protect infrastructure, ensure equitable resource distribution, and prevent system overloads by clearly defining operational boundaries for all parties involved.
Peak Flow Limitations. The Municipality shall be limited to a peak daily flow of four (4) times its three-year annual average daily flow rate (the “Peak Flow Limitation Amount”). Aqua shall notify the Municipality within 30 days of any exceedance of the Peak Flow Limitation Amount and shall also notify the Municipality in a timely manner of any daily flows that exceed 90% of the Peak Flow Limitation Amount for a period of 3 consecutive days. Should the Municipality exceed the Peak Flow Limitation Amount, the Municipality shall be penalized $5,000.00 for each day in which the flow exceeds the Peak Flow Limitation Amount. The Municipality shall submit payment for each flow exceedance within 60 days of being notified by Aqua of the flow exceedance. In lieu of the Municipality paying the subject penalty payment to Aqua, the Municipality shall be permitted to use this money to address I&I within the Municipality System. If the Municipality elects to make improvements to the Municipality System to address I&I, the Municipality shall (a) notify Aqua in writing within 60 days of receiving notification of the flow exceedance that the Municipality intends to make improvements to the Municipality System, which notice shall include what improvements the Municipality intends to make to the Municipality System, (b) complete such improvements to the Municipality System within one (1) year of the date of its notice to Aqua of its intent to make such improvements (the “Improvement Completion Period”), and (c) within 30 days of the end of the Improvement Completion Period, submit documentation acceptable to Aqua certifying that such improvements have been made. If the Municipality elects to make improvements to the Municipality System, and such improvements are not fully completed within the Improvement Completion Period, within 60 days of the end of the Improvement Completion Period, the Municipality shall pay $5,000 to Aqua. The provisions of this Section 14 shall become effective on the third anniversary of the date on which Aqua commences billing the Municipality solely on flow metering. The intent of this peak daily flow limitation requirement is to encourage the Municipality to make I&I repairs to the Municipality System.
Peak Flow Limitations. The Peak Flow Limitations for metered points of connection between the collection systems of two (2) or more Parties within the BPSA are defined as follows:
a. Potomac Interceptor (PI) and other interceptors for WSSC, Fairfax and Non-Party Users’ flows to collection systems operated by DC Water - Table 4-B.
b. Interceptors for WSSC flows to collection systems operated by DC Water –
c. Interceptors for District flows to collection systems operated by WSSC - Table 4- D.

Peak Flow Limitations. Where Columbia reasonably determines that flows 7 originating or transmitted through the West Columbia Sewer System to the Columbia Sewer 8 System, which flows exceed the allocated capacities contained in Sections 2.03, 2.04 and 2.05, 9 are or can reasonably be expected to cause or contribute to (1) a sanitary sewer overflow in the 10 Columbia Sewer System, (2) a condition resulting in flows exceeding the pumping capacity of a 11 Columbia Sewer System pump station, and/or (3) a violation of the City Permit, Columbia may 12 impose peak flow limitations upon the West Columbia Sewer System as Columbia determines 13 are reasonably necessary to avoid such conditions.
