New individual users must connect to their municipal sewer system. The regional system makes use of this centralization by connecting to each municipal system at the site of the former municipal plant. Camden is an exception to this pattern. The system was designed to deal with flow projected for a fully built up County. Additional capacity was included to deal with daily and seasonal variation.
People use more water early in the morning, just after waking.
Summer months bring high water usage. Storm sewers, which collect runoff from rainstorms and melting snow, are kept separate for nearly all the County. This results in much higher inflow during and after major storms. Most of the system is gravity propelled. This is the cheapest, most reliable power source for the collection system.
