use. Population densities may be around 1 050 persons
per hectare, with a maximum plot ratio of 5.0.

Private
housing in R3 and R4 zones, villas and bungalows
Residential Three (R3) is a medium to low density residential
planned use. Population densities may be around 470 persons
per hectare, with a maximum plot ratio of 3.0. Residential

The use
of garbage grinders may increase the per capita contribution
of BOD by about 30% and of SS by 60%, and such increases should
be taken into account in the design of the STP.
