Data from routine site measurements was used to calculate the average raw influent flows and loads given in Table 4-3. Also included in Table 4-3 are the design values applied during the 2 upgrades.

The TSS load is slightly higher at 6% of the design load. Additional data was also collected through specia sampling program during the 2 winter (June to August) and 2 summer (January to February) to determine the seasonal diurnal flow and load patterns as well as wastewater characteristics to be applied for mathematical modelling. summary of wastewater characteristics is given in Table 3.4. Graphical variations of the flows and loads in 2 are given in Appendix
