We have 2 large or 3 municipalities that do water models around the Denver Metro Area.
State of Colorado requires a 10% reduction as well.

Think Green. From: Rick Matsuda <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2022 7:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Sprinklerforum] Hydrant flow tests I know that an accurate flow test is critical for the sprinkler system design, but I’ve heard several discussions recently about water conservation during our drought conditions across the SW states. With all our technology, is it possible to develop an accurate computer modeling program for water departments to use in lieu of flow tests? Even with the program, I think there would still be a need for some flow tests to verify the program results, but maybe not as many as now. I’m not taking any pro/con position regarding this issue. I’m just providing food for thought for the future as our need for water increases and our resources diminish. Adequate water is the key for our industry. It’s ironic cause we get more wild fires due to the drought, and then we have to use more water to fight the fires. Rick Matsuda
