225% is correct.

Water mains are Designed for a maximum of ( Max hourly demand or Coincident draft).

Maximum hourly demand = 270% of av hourly demand (i.e. 2.7 * Qav).
Coincident Draft includes Maximum daily demand which is 180% of Average daily demand (i.e. 1.8 * Qav).

Thus we take an average of these two (270+180)/2 = 225%.

I hope this is clarified.
