Can MMWC's system supply fire hydrants?

Can MMWC’s distribution system support fire hydrants? No. MMWC's water system is a gravity-feed system. Also, the majority of MMWC's transmission and distribution lines consist of 3" pipe. State guidelines call for a minimum of 6” diameter. In short, MMWC's system provides neither the volume nor the pressure required to supply pressurized fire hydrants. Nevertheless, some cisterns for fire-fighting purposes have been installed, at CCMEPOA's expense, in various parts of CCME. Copyright © 2009-2011 MMWC Director Eric W. Cernyar
