and 4-2.2
-
Provide adequate sectional valves in
(l), Sec. 5.7.2
distribution system.
-
Determine from flow test:
- Static press.
- Residual flow and press.
-
If sprinklers are required, obtain test data
as early as possible.
-
Can available supply meet water demand?
- If pressure is inadequate, provide booster
pump.
- If volume is inadequate, this may be solved
