Max Quantity Limits: Limit the quantity of opioids prescribed to 90 MME/day. I don't think you can just ignore the illegal part and proceed with the rest as though it were legal. Where a system has elevated storage of 5% or less of its maximum day requirement, the water supply should be designed to meet the total water supply requirements of the system just as though it were a pressure system, and provision should be made for standby sources of water supply. To more completely accomplish this objective this practice includes definitions and requirements of water systems designed primarily to provide pressure by use of hydropneumatic tanks and by utilizing elevated storage. The demand during the maximum hour for commercial (residential and business) customers at meter rates can usually be estimated at between 1 and 2 times the gallon per minute average on the day of maximum demand. The additional cost for a minimum standby service would only be approximately $3,500 for a 100-customer system over that required for a well pump and pressure tank installation, since for the former the pressure tank is unnecessary and the well pump size may be reduced because the storage would aid in meeting the peaking requirements of such a system. 0000004197 00000 n 3. Further, this section also creates a limit of a 120-day total supply of refills for a Schedule III or Schedule IV controlled substance prescription.

Disclosure of Disciplinary Action, Conclusion - Two pumping units, one of 200 gpm and the other of 300 gpm capacity, would be adequate as the larger unit in conjunction with storage could meet the maximum demand and still provide some additional capacity for growth while the smaller unit could be used when the demands on the system are low as well as being of adequate capacity to maintain water service on a standby basis if the larger unit should fail.
