When is water demand typically at its highest during the day?

The highest water demand during the day typically occurs from 7 AM to 10 PM because this timeframe aligns with the daily activities of the general population. During these hours, most people are awake and engaging in various activities that require water, such as cooking, cleaning, bathing, and gardening. Additionally, this period includes peak usage times in both residential and commercial settings, contributing to the overall increase in water consumption. The early morning is when families are preparing for the day, leading to significant water use, and this demand often continues throughout the day due to the activities of businesses and public facilities.

While other timeframes may also experience some water use, they do not match the demand observed from 7 AM to 10 PM, where daily routines and operational hours of businesses create a need for higher water usage. This understanding helps water treatment facilities in planning and managing supply to meet the demands of their customers effectively.
