Table 10.4 Recommended Peaking Factors for Sewers

Population	Peaking Factor for Sewers*
< 1,000	8
1,000 – 5,000	6
5,000 – 10,000	5
10,000 – 50,000	4
> 50,000	7.3/N^0.165

Notes:

1. * denotes peaking factors including stormwater allowance based on Sewerage Manual Part 1 (DSD, 1995).

2. N denotes equivalent population / 1,000.

3. Equivalent population = ADWF (m³/d) / 0.27.
