This article discusses the off‐peak concept. For maximum transfers, the flow rate must be under continuous control. In the Elizabethtown (New Jersey) system, the pressures and flows at the delivery point are telemetered back to the load dispatch center. The operator, by a remote‐control valve, adjusts the flows according to conditions in the two systems, to obtain a maximum rate at all times. This principle of off‐peak sales has worked very effectively. All of the facilities of Elizabethtown have been operating at practically maximum capacity around the clock. Many pumps in the system are working 24 hours a day. There is no doubt that the water delivered has been a major factor in preventing the drought from becoming a catastrophe. Upon further investigation, the principle of off‐peak sales may prove to be a long‐term solution to water shortages in other areas. Investor‐owned utilities can understand the necessity of contracts to engage in or expand such a service.
