The <br />system has an average daily demand of 30 million gallons from its roughly 45,000 service <br />connections. The sanitary sewer system includes approximately 400 miles of sanitary <br />sewer main and two sewer lift stations, which convey sewage to the Orange County <br />Sanitation District for treatment. <br />With the increase in prevalence of both planned and emergency electric power grid <br />shutdowns, having backup power sources in a state of good repair is essential to ensure <br />that water supply and wastewater conveyance equipment function properly, and that the <br />respective systems operate correctly during power outage events.
