In December 1973 the author arranged a fire hydrant testing program to determine the deficiencies of a water distribution system serving a city of 25,000. The purpose of the program was to determine the necessity of a trunk main system and to determine which areas needed the greatest improvement. The hydrant testing procedure is discussed and several graphs illustrate the process.
