What must both cold and hot water pressure be capable of doing?

The necessity for both cold and hot water pressure to be capable of meeting peak demands is crucial in ensuring that a system can handle times of maximum usage. This means that when multiple taps, showers, or appliances are used simultaneously, the water supply system must be robust enough to deliver the required pressure and volume to maintain adequate service levels.

Meeting peak demands ensures that customers experience reliable service at all times, reducing the risk of reduced flow or pressure that could lead to dissatisfaction or operational issues in environments like restaurants or grocery stores where water usage can fluctuate dramatically.

In contrast, while maintaining a constant temperature and meeting general demands are important, they do not specifically address the capacity of the system to cope with the greatest load, which can occur during busy periods. Similarly, recycling wastewater is a separate concern and does not pertain directly to the pressure capabilities of water supply systems.
