Station Operating Schedule of Temperatures.

(a) The standard for heating service shall be determined by the average temperature of the flow and return water in the mains at the heating plant of the utility and shall not be less than that indicated in the following table showing the average temperatures of flow and return.
(b) The average temperature of station flow and return water shall be determined by dividing by two the sum of the temperature of the water in the flow main and the temperature of the water in the return main.
