We have inherited a methane gas recovery plant, the site is situated on a hill surrounded by 10' walls and is accessed by a single lane road. The plant wants to supply the hydrants and cooling tower with reclaimed water.... we really don't want to contaminate our apparatus with reclaimed water but we're getting pressure from above to allow it, upon visiting the site it was found that the site is already using potable water for the cooliing tower as shown in the "current configuration" single line, their proposed configuration is shown also, the configurations show only four hydrants where there are actually six, from the attached photo you can see the location of the hydrants I'm not sure of the required fire flow, but realistically, we would never send any apparatus to hydrants #3, #4, #5, and number 6 to be boxed in...... The question asked is "Can hydrants #3,#4, #5, and number 6 be safely removed from the loop?" (The water dept. is working with us on the proposals....)
