The University of Andalas Student Rental Building is a residential building of five floors. In this water supply plan the water source is supplied from the Unand’s water treatment plant. The water supply system uses a roof tank system with a combination of gravity flow and booster pump. The water supply tank consists of the bottom tank and the upper tank with capacities of 74 m3 dan 4,5 m3, respectively. The booster pump meets the critical pressure on the 3rd floor up to the 5th floor with 5,44 m head.
