Annual average water consumption does not represent the total supply capacity required. Consumption during the maximum month and during the maximum day are important. Table 3 shows the estimated future maximum as compared with the annual average. These data are plotted on Figure 12. Supply works must be adequate for sustained periods of high consumption. Short term peaks can be supplied from local storage. Figure 12 shows an increase in the rate of consumption beyond the year 1970. This increase reflects the greater
