Plumbing Systems

The underground parking garage for Judge Doyle Square will have a plumbing
system consisting of domestic water service, primary storm drainage and sewer
service, and sanitary sewer service. Also included in the garage plumbing
systems will be temporary (construction phase) and permanent dewatering
systems required to lower the water table and minimize impacts to construction
and long-term water infiltration at the lowest parking level.
Water Service
It is anticipated that the existing water service, located underground within the
Pinckney Street right-of-way, will be maintained (or reconstructed) within the parking
garage structure. A new 8-inch combination fire and domestic water service will be
extended to the building. The water service will split inside the building into a 6-inch
domestic water service and an 8-inch fire protection service. The existing 6-inch City
water main, located in Wilson Street, will need to be increased to an 8-inch main.

Dewatering Systems
A dewatering system is anticipated to serve the lower level of the parking garage due
to existing water table levels. This system will consist of submersible pumps and well
points at the lower level. The capacity of this system will be further evaluated based
on the geotechnical report for the development.
Selection and Design of Treatment Processes for Rainwater and
Greywater
The operations, processes, and systems needed to achieve the water quality, or level
of treatment required, were selected according to the following criteria; final use
of the treated water, efficiency in removing contaminants, cost effectiveness, and
applicability to onsite/decentralized systems. According to these criteria, it was
decided to use the rainwater and grey water after treatment for non-potable uses,
such as toilet and urinal flushing, floor cleaning, fire control, green area irrigation,
and others. Thus, the systems proposed in this study to treat and use rainwater
and grey water are represented schematically in Figure A
In Figure A. §1 represents a first-flush
diverter of rainwater, which will be used
to convey the first flow of rainwater from
the catchment surface away from the
storage tank. The flushed water will be
routed to a green area. While leaf screens
will remove the larger debris, such as
leaves, twigs, and blooms that fall on the
roof, the first-flush diverter will allow the
system to rid itself of smaller
contaminants, such as dust, pollen, and
bird and rodent feces. A volume of 2.5 L Figure A .Schematic representation of the
