Static pressures in the new main will range from 90 to 139 p.s.i.

The average main pressure will be 115 p.s.i. in the sates of Stage 1 of the Hicks Subdivision. Fire protection will be provided by this extension. Hydrants have been situated in accordance with recognized standards. The I.S.O. minimum requirements of 750 g.p.m. for a 2 hour duration (residential uses) will be met by this system; And WHEREAS, the method of financing will be by the members of the new district extension.
