Elevated storage is required for systems with more than how many connections?

500 connections
750 connections
1,000 connections
1,500 connections

The correct answer is: 750 connections

Elevated storage is a crucial requirement for water systems that maintain consistency in pressure and supply, especially during peak usage times or emergencies. For water systems with more than 750 connections, it becomes essential to have elevated storage to ensure adequate pressure and volume for effective service delivery. This threshold considers the population served and the anticipated water demand, which increases with the number of connections. Proper elevation and storage allow the system to meet fluctuating demands, provide fire protection, and maintain water quality by reducing stagnation. Systems with fewer than this number may find that ground-level storage and other methods of pressure management are sufficient to meet their operational needs.
