Abstract

Domestic wastewater sanitation in the Philippines have been highly dependent on septic tanks. Very few have sewer connections and the only portions of the collected wastes are treated prior to disposal. In pursuit of expanding sewer-service coverage, authorizes attempt to make use of separate sewer system. In the first phase of system. planning a company creates preliminary designs of separate sewer systems in residential areas using their own set of design standards. As part of plan finalization, preliminary designs are subjected to hydraulic assessments through hydraulic modeling programs like Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) that simplifies the task of repetitive computations for modeling actual scenarios that the system might encounter. This study conducts hydraulic analysis of separate sewer system design for a subdivision. Its general purpose is to determine the hydraulic performance of the design. Results show that he company's adopted standards specifically in pipe sizing are conservative, resulting in likely oversized pipes. Analysis on the possible improvements in the preliminary design was oversized pipes. Analysis on the possible improvements in the preliminary design was completed.
