A. AREA DISCRIPTION
bounded by the municipalities of Sta. Maria and Marilao to the west and Norzagaray to the
north, all of Bulacan, municipality of Rodriguez, Rizal to the southeast, and the cities of Quezon
and Caloocan to the south. The City is approximately 42 kilometres away from Manila.
subdivision of Heritage Homes, Meycauayan, Bulacan. The designer’s goal is to design a water
supply and distribution system which will be able to efficiently sustain the everyday water supply
needs of the future residents since their means of supply are through shallow wells and water
supply trucks only. The community is owned by the Municipality of Meycauayan, Bulacan. The
community has a total area of 54, 312 square meters. A total of 631 units. The residential piece
of land includes amenities like elementary school, church, military camp and barangay hall. All
units are assumed to be residential so the project is intended only to design the water supply
and distribution system for domestic use and shall therefore conform to the standards stated
within the governing Codes of the Philippines in relation to water supply and distribution system.
The designer consider multiple constraints such as economical and sustainability in order for
them to satisfy what the client wants. The client is concerned about the duration so that the
residents will not be having a hard time in their water supply. Several steps were execute that
conforms to the codes and the standards. Trade- offs were provided in the design so that the
The following figures, tables and illustrations below will show the technical aspects to be
considered in the design configurations. This portion will describe and provide the needed facts
to be deliberated by the design team in order to establish a design fit for the condition and
environment of the location. This includes the site development of the location, elevation map,
zoning map, boundary map, land use, possible water sources, soil characteristics, slope map

The community is currently using a communal faucet as their source of water. The
communal faucet is the immediate action of the water district for the sudden unsuitability of the
water coming from the built artesian wells for domestic water use. It is connected from the
2. POPULATION
The area to be served is about 128,090 sq. m. The population counts about 8,127, with
1,783 families. The growth rate of the community is about 3 – 4 % based on the homeowners of
the said location. The Northville 9 resettlement area is designed with eighty-seven blocks (87),
with each consists of a minimum number of seven (7) houses to a maximum number of fifty (50)
houses.
3. SOCIO ECONOMIC
The proposed design of the Northville 9 Water Supply and Distribution System will bring
reliable and safe water to residents, enhancing access to this vital resource for 8,127 individuals
and 1,783 families residing in an area of 128,090 square meters. This project is committed to
promoting public health by providing clean, affordable, and sustainable water solutions. The
system will ensure equitable distribution of water, addressing the needs of both the growing
The proposed water distribution system will benefit the local economy by generating
employment opportunities during its construction, operation, and maintenance. This will provide
a stable source of income for employees and their families, supporting their daily living needs.
Additionally, the availability of an efficient water supply will encourage local economic activities
The business will comply with all legal and tax obligations, contributing to government
revenue. These taxes will help fund public services and infrastructure projects, further
enhancing the quality of life for residents. By providing a critical utility service, the project will
also align with government initiatives to improve public health and sanitation.
The Northville 9 Water Supply and Distribution System will provide clean, safe water,
water management, the project ensures a reliable supply, enhancing the quality of life for
current and future generations. This initiative aims to set a standard for sustainable
the system can meet both current and future needs efficiently. By accurately assessing demand,
the system's components—such as pipelines, pumps, and storage tanks—can be properly sized
to handle peak and average consumption levels. This prevents under-sizing, which could lead to
water shortages, and over-sizing, which would result in unnecessary costs. Additionally,
understanding demand patterns ensures a reliable supply, particularly during peak usage
periods, and helps maintain adequate pressure throughout the system. Proper demand analysis
also supports long-term planning by accounting for population growth and increased usage,
Unit consumption for domestic water demand is expressed in per capita consumption per
day. The commonly used unit is liters per capita per day (lpcd). If no definitive data are
available, the unit consumption assumptions recommended for Level II and Level III domestic
Level II Public Faucets: 50 - 60 lpcd (Each public faucet should serve 4 - 6 households)
DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION
The year-by-year total domestic consumption is projected by applying the projected unit
consumption to the projected population to be served for each year. The served population is
estimated by employing the market survey results and the planner’s judgment of the potential of
the area.
Unaccounted-for water is the amount of water that is produced but not billed as a result of
leaks, pilferages, free water, utility usages, etc. An allowance should be made for this category;
otherwise, the designed source capacity would not be sufficient to supply the required
consumption of paying customers. In actual operation, the UFW should be a cause of concern
and should be subject to measures to keep it as low as possible. For planning purposes,
however, a conservative approach should be adopted. The water demand projection should
assume that the UFW of the new system will be fifteen percent (15%) of the estimated
consumptions. The plan’s figure can be increased up to a total of 20% at the end of 5 years.
These assumed UFW figures require good maintenance of utilities, pro-active leakage
3. DEMAND VARIATION
Water demand varies within the day and also within the year. This demand variation is
dependent on the consumption pattern of the locality and is measured by four demand
Minimum day demand: The minimum amount of water required in a single day over a
year.
Average day demand: The average of the daily water requirement spread in a year.
Maximum day demand: The maximum amount of water required in a single day over a
year.
Minimum day demand: The pipe network system is analyzed under a minimum demand
condition to check on possible occurrence of excessive static pressures that the system
might not be able to withstand. No point in the transmission and distribution system
Average day demand: Annual estimates and projections on production, revenues, non-
revenue water, power costs, and other O&M costs are based on the average day
demand.
Maximum day demand: The total capacity of all existing and future water sources should
be capable of supplying at least the projected maximum day demand at any year during
the design period. The design of treatment plants, pump capacity and pipelines consider
the maximum day demand supply rate as an option in the optimization analysis.

Peak hour demand: The pipeline network should be designed to operate with no point in
the system having pressure below 3 meters during peak hour conditions. If there is no
reservoir, the power ratings of pumping stations should be sufficient for the operation of
A. PUMPING SYSTEM
The deep well water source that will be designed for the Northville 9 is to be located at
an open lot, merely at the center of the community as shown in the image. The open lot is
located beside the central school inside Northville 9 and surrounded by houses.
