How to calculate cold water main coverage
This calculator finds how much length a cold water main can cover based on total requirement and coverage rate per unit.
How the calculation works
Coverage = Total requirement ÷ Coverage rate per unit (or similar ratio depending on your specific planning metric).
Example
A service area requiring 400 linear feet of coverage at a rate of 50 feet per unit: 400 ÷ 50 = 8 units.
