Water distribution systems are initially classified according to the number of service connections served:

Service Connections    Initial System Class
15 to 500 Class 1
501 to 5,000 Class 2
5,001 to 15,000 Class 3
15,001 or more Class 4

The initial classification will increase if one of two conditions is met. First, the classification will increase one class if a system has five or more pressure zones. Second, the classification will increase one class if water in the distribution system is circulated or heated to prevent freezing. The initial classification will only increase once, even if both conditions are met.
