Hydrant Flow Tests Paused
On September 21, 2023, SPU activated its Water Shortage Contingency Plan and asked customers to voluntarily use less water. Because of this, SPU is temporarily pausing certain activities, including Hydrant Flow Tests. If your project timeline cannot wait for the Contingency Plan to be lifted, you can request a Modeled Flow Report ($250). For more information, visit 1.5 Million People Asked to Use Less Water to Stretch Region’s Water Supply. If you have further questions, please contact spu_dso@seattle.gov.
Hydrant Flow Request
These requests help design fire suppression systems. In some cases, we may have current flow test results that can be provided upon request by contacting spu_dso@seattle.gov. The results provide the water pressure within the distribution system and the pressure during typical demands with no hydrants flowing.
