Source capacity means the total amount of water supply available, expressed as a flow, from all active sources permitted for use by the water system, including approved surface water, groundwater, and purchased water.
Source capacity means the capacity of the water source that is proposed to serve a subdivision. For purposes of this chapter the minimum source capacity is 1000 gallons per day per connection.
Source capacity means the amount of water expressed in gallons per minute (gpm) which may be reliably and consistently produced from a DDW approved water source. This definition applies to all water sources including treated and untreated surface and ground water. The DDW rating shall be considered to be the Source Capacity of a given source; however, the DDW rating may be further limited by quality, available quantity, or trending conditions following a review by the County Health Officer. The Source Capacity of a given Source cannot exceed the Water Rights approved for that Source by the State Engineer. Water storage, consisting of pipe or reservoir storage, cannot be used as a factor when calculating a Source Capacity.
