Conn. Agencies Regs. § 16-11-95 - Standard pressure
(1) Each utility
shall, subject to the approval of the commission, adopt and maintain a standard
pressure in its distribution system at locations to be designated as the point
or points of "standard pressure." At one such point a recording pressure gauge
shall be maintained in continuous service.
(2) Under normal conditions of use of water
the pressure at a customer's service connection shall be not less than 25
p.s.i.g. and not more than 125 p.s.i.g.
(3) Pressure outside the limits specified
will not be considered a violation when the variations arise from:
(A) The action of the elements;
(B) infrequent fluctuations not exceeding
five minutes duration;
(C) service
interruptions;
(D) causes beyond
the control of the utility;
(E)
service elevations.
(4)
At regular intervals, each utility shall make a survey of sufficient magnitude
of pressures in its distribution system to indicate the quality of service
being rendered at representative points on its system. Such surveys shall be
made during periods of high usage at or near the maximum usage during the year.
The pressure charts for these surveys shall show the date and time of beginning
and end of the test and the location at which the test was made. Records of
these pressure surveys shall be maintained for a period of six years at the
utility's principal office in the state and shall be made available to the
commission upon request.
