12VAC5-590-630.B.2. Table 630.1
 

The examples of water usage included under "High Hazard" fail to mention one of the most significant and most common potential high hazard situations, that being "irrigation and lawn sprinkler systems". This pertains to both commercial and residential water usage, and with most municipal water systems, represents by far the greatest hazard among residential water customers.

My recommendation would be to include "irrigation and lawn sprinkler systems" right after "sewage" in the list.
