They will have private yard hydrants; in fact, lots and lots of them.

You are very close to being right on target.

Subject: RE: Test header at pump house

Actually, there is no need for the test header on a fire pump- IF you have
standpipe FHVs, hydrants or other means for testing the flow.

And with a flow meter installed, you only have to flow water and measure it
every -3 yrs? Sorry, I didn't commit #25 to memory, but its less than
annually.

IF you end up with a storz FDC and Storz test header, I'd make signage so
obvious- never mind, it won't matter. They'll hook LDH up to the first storz
they come to and start pumping. Especially if, in the background, something
is happening in a place where they'd have the need for 3 FDCs on a 12"
manifold- I assume a complex with a lot of nasties in quanitity. Like those
adjacent chem. Plants and refineries that look like if one goes, there goes
Delaware. And NJ and eastern PA.
