WaterCAD Connecting to Exist System Issue
(OP)
Hi. I have built a model for a small subdivision. The only information I have from the city is:
Static Pressure = 22 psi
Residual Pressure = 55 psi
It doesn't seem like this is enough information. I hate to go ask my boss because this is my first week at the job. At the previous company I was always given a pressure and a flow.
Do I need more info or can I model with what has been given?
Thanks for any help.

I don't typically model these types of systems with a tank. I am using WaterCAD and usually do a reservoir with a pump. So, you think I should use the static (lower) pressure to set my design point on the well?
Where I used to work I would have been given just a pressure and a flow at the point I was drawing off.

I am attaching the info I pulled off of the WaterCAD help menu.

The flow test gives you an estimate of the headlosses in the system (from the source) at a flow between two known points. The pump and reservoir sounds like the correct way to model this.
