what country is your project in?
do you need to satisfy a fire marshal?
what about insurance companies?
your figure does not show a water source, what about that?
not sure why you have two lines on each street
line size must be based on hydraulics, you can't just pick a size. pressure requirements and topography have a large impact on the design
service lines are based on desired flow rates, again you can't just pick a size
for 1400 people, I am sure you will need some lines larger than 8 inch
Suggest you define your design criteria and thenset up a water network model to design this.

You should check with the local fire brigade to determine the water needs for fire fighting.

8 inches are arent applicable??
RE: Sizing maindistribution line and transmisionline pipe
That is why you should check with the local fire brigade. The water mains are sized to transport the fire water, not for daily usage.

For a normal single family residence, I recommend a 3/4-Inch water supply. If you have a very wealthy residence with multiple bathrooms, etc. you should upsize to at least to 1-Inch service.
Water mains will probably be 50 mm with 150 mm transmission mains.
