be superimposed in a single drawing.
8. All the texts representing block name, building name must be drawn in single line text.
9. Each file should contain single type of block details.
10. Drawing content with assigned code should not be repeated in any of the drawing of particular premise
using the same color code.
11. The folder containing all the drawings which is to be uploaded should be named as the premises no i.e.

REQUIREMENTS FOR SERVICE DRAWING

1. Water demand calculation will have to be done assuming 200 lpcd for residential population and 65 lpcd

for floating population.

2. Sewerage line & drainage line will have to be shown separately in one drawing sheet and water supply

line to be shown in another drawing sheet.

3. Position of departmental (P.H.E) water pipe line, manhole, master trap, sewerage line etc. to be shown

in the drawings along with connection with internal service lines.

4. For plots more than 1500 sqm. where the length of sewer and drainage line are significant, invert levels

at intermediate points are to be shown.

5. Capacity and dimensions of O.H.R, U.G.R and Fire Tank should be clearly given along with plan,

elevation and cross section in the drawing and that should satisfy the required demand.

6. Final approval of the service drawings are to be given by the P.H.E Department.

7. Location of UGR should be such that the PHED/WBHIDCO/NKDA authorities will have free access

to the said reservoir at any time.

8. Top of Manhole at least 300mm above adjacent GL, overflow line should be above GL.

 Annexure –V

REQUIREMENT FOR WATER SUPPLY

1. Calculation of water demand:

a) In residential building – number of tenement per floor and total number of person in building and

requirement @ 200 liter/cap/day.

b) For commercial building – Total carpet area of the building and number of person @10 sqm/person

and 65 liter/cap/day.

2. According to the demand calculation volume of reservoir should be checked with a total capacity of one

day’s requirement and capacity of O.H.R is 50% of UGR.

3. Portion of ferrule connection shown in the drawing should be checked with P.H.E’s water supply line or

pipe line

4. Within the premises there should be at least 4” X 4” free space over the supply line for installation of

water meter and that should be free approachable for any one.

5. The R.L on top of manhole covers such that there should not be any chance for contamination of UGR

6. The overflow line from UGR should be at least 100 mm over than surrounding GL so that there would

not be no chance of back flow of surface run off and contamination of UGR water.

7. There should be at least 300 mm free board in UGR from over flow line.

8. Over flow line should not be covered and while excess water from UGR drain out from the nearer

saucer drain that should not covered so that its over flowing of water can be easily visible to any habitants.

9. Inlet line should be at least 50 mm above over flow line.

5. Invert level of the master trap should be given in the drawing and the R.L of outfall or discharge point

should be same with the R.L of manhole or provision left by P.H.E.

6. Sanitary sewer line and storm sewer line should not intersect but if it is unavoidable then R.L of

intersection point should be check and that should not be at same level.

7. Position of discharge point of storm drainage shown in drawing should be checked with P.H.E’s
