The District has established standard abbreviations that shall be used on all drawings. For drawings related to Facility Drafting, the abbreviations may be found on EBMUD Standard Drawings. A copy of that drawing is included in the Standard Drawings section.
Abbreviations shall be used consistently throughout a drawing set. In general, if a word is abbreviated in one place, then the abbreviation shall be used for all occurrences of that word. Abbreviations are generally not used in general drawing notes, but only in the body of the drawing and on schedules.
District abbreviations do not have periods. The only exception to this rule is for abbreviations that can also be complete words. For example, the abbreviation for NUMBER is NO., since NO is itself a word.
