Dear Ms.Madsen:
This letter will summarize the water flow test erformed with the Brooklyn Center Water Department at the above
P yn
referenced facility on May 17,2005.
Flow for this test was from the fire hydrant on the east side of this building closest to where the sprinkler piping
enters the building. This hydrant will be referred to as hydrant 1. Pressures were taken from the fire hydrant
directly south of this hydrant and just north of Lakebreeze Avenue North. This hydrant will be referred to as
hydrant 2.
The following results were obtained:
The flow was measured from the 4 in.hydrant butt on hydrant 1. The pitot reading was 23 PSI. Using a coefficient
of 0.80,the flow was 1830 GPM. The static pressure at hydrant 2 was 62 PSI and the residual pressure was 54 PSI.
As a result of this water test,I will not be recommending a fire pump at this location. Should this water supply
decrease in the future,there may be a need for a fire pump at this facility.
