Appendix G Water and Sewer Analysis

             • The Usage of street hydrants as standalone firefighting facility to a building will be entirely
               at the risk of the developer. Unitywater will not guarantee that the street hydrants will comply
               with the requirements of AS 2419 or of QFES. This applies to dry hydrant systems too.

             • It is strongly recommended that the developer submits an application for flow & pressure
               information about the water mains that the development is getting connected to. This
               information will provide details of the expected flow & pressure of Unitywater’s street
               watermain in the vicinity of the development from a hydraulic model prediction. The
               application       can    be      downloaded      from     Unitywater’s      web      site
               https://www.unitywater.com/faults-and-outages/water-supply-problems/water-pressure
               (Form 8578)

             • Unitywater, at its discretion, may change the operational regime of its water mains.
               However, it won’t be changed below Unitywater’s minimum level of service towards street
               hydrants. These values are shown in Table 1 below. For more details, please refer to the
               latest version of SEQ Design & Construction Code.
