Gary,
The results of the fire flow test you requested are as follows: Static – 144, Residual – 138, Pitot – 120 flowing 1840 GPM
on a 2.5” nozzle. The test was performed at N. 25th / Daffodil on 3/5/2021. If you have questions or need further
information feel free to email. Have a great weekend!

Thank you for the response and info!
I definitely think a physical flow test would be worth it for this project.
Erin, let us know the best way to authorize that and get it scheduled. The hydrants next to the site are exposed but it is
still rather snowy and frozen.
Thank you for your help!

Thanks Gary,
The closest most recent flow test we have done was in Oct 2020 at the two hydrants highlighted below. Erin Shane,
cced in this email, can either get you that data or schedule to flow test a specific pair of hydrants. A physical flow test
will cost you $100 minimum (for the first hour) then $50 each additional half an hour thereafter and any water usage
that takes place will cost $5.15 per 1000 gallons. A physical flow test may need to wait until the cold weather and street
conditions won’t lend to a hazardous condition or flooding. Let us know which route you prefer and Erin will line this up
to be complete. If you just need static pressures, we may have other data available but the flow test of the two
hydrants highlighted below showed a pressure of 148 psi before they started flowing.

Hi Nick,
We are working on a subdivision of 2305 Durston Road (Lot 1 Ph. 3C of Annie Subdivision). This is City project #21003.
For our design report, we think that we have to verify fire flows and pressures at the site. Is there a map showing the
system working pressures or hydrant data nearby that we can use?
The current plan is to loop together the currently dead‐end mains on Rogers Way and Daffodil (something like the
attached layout). An image from the City GIS is also attached.
Any guidance would be helpful or a call to discuss.
Thank you,
