This article discusses a program of field discharge and pressure measurements that was initiated in the summer of 1966 on a Boston trunk water main system. This program was intended to supply basic water system data to complement land use studies and meter records. The field discharge readings, velocity traverses and loss of head tests to determine friction coefficients were performed by Pitometer Associates of New York using standard procedures.
