<strong>Aims: </strong>This planning aims to obtain the optimum flush volume on the design of sewerage in South Tangerang City. <strong>Methodology and results:</strong> Factors affecting this flushing are the length of pipelines, the service area, and topographic conditions. The sewer drain that needs flushing is Line 1–WWTP since the minimum velocity is not eligible due to its relatively low average topographic slope. The flushing is required particularly for the Section 1–2. Hence, two alternatives were devised by dividing the Population Equivalent (PE) in Section 1–2 into three segments. Those alternatives were differentiated by the PE—20%, 5%, and 75% for Alternative 1; whereas 10%, 15%, and 75% for Alternative 2. Alternative 1 requires flushing on Section 1–1.1 since it has a d<sub>min</sub> of 7 cm and v<sub>min</sub> of 0.2585 m/s, yielding a flush volume of 3.94 m<sup>3</sup> (0.0193 m<sup>3</sup>/s). Section 1.1–1.2 still needs flushing because this channel has a v<sub>min</sub> of 0.4281 m/s and a qualified d<sub>min</sub> of 15 cm, generating a flush volume of 7.89 m<sup>3</sup> (0.2113 m<sup>3</sup>/s). Flushing is not necessary for Section 1.2–2 due to its sufficient d<sub>min</sub> of 63 cm and v<sub>min</sub> of 0.88 m/s. Alternative 2 requires flushing on Section 1–1.1 since it has a d<sub>min</sub> of 7 cm and a v<sub>min</sub> of 0.2585 m/s, resulting in a flush volume of 2.63 m<sup>3</sup> (0.0193 m<sup>3</sup>/s). Section 1.1–1.2 still requires flushing on account of its v<sub>min</sub> of 0.3877 m/s and the yielded flush volume of 18.4 m<sup>3</sup> (0.2625 m<sup>3</sup>/s), though its d<sub>min</sub> of 13 cm complies with the standard. Section 1.2–2 does not need flushing as it already has a d<sub>min</sub> of 63 cm and a v<sub>min</sub> of 0.88 m/s. The total flush volumes for Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 are 11.83 m<sup>3</sup> and 21.04 m<sup>3</sup>, respectively. <strong>Conclusion, significance, and impact of the study: </strong>The total flush volume for Alternative 1 is 11.83 m<sup>3</sup>, while Alternative 2 is 21.04 m<sup>3</sup>. Thus, the optimum design having the least flush volume is Alternative 1.
