Attachment 6 NAL Hydrant Report.pdf

This document is a Private Fire Hydrant Inspection and Testing Form used for certifying the operational condition and compliance of private fire hydrants.

The form requires property owners or their representatives to document the hydrant's service status, physical condition, and functional performance. The inspection section covers thirteen items evaluating hydrant accessibility, structural integrity, threads and caps condition, paint status, and compliance with City of Austin standards (specifically 3-way hydrants with 2-2½" outlets with WINST threads and 1-4" Steamer W/COA thread). The testing section verifies hydrant flow capacity, drain functionality, control valve operation, backflow assembly performance, mainline strainer condition, and isolation valve functionality. Testing data must include consumption rates (measured in GPM), total flow volume (in gallons), pressure readings (static and residual PSI), nozzle size, pilot readings, GPS coordinates, velocity measurements at 20 PSI residual, and water quality tests for total chlorine and dechlorination residual. The form requires documentation of the inspection date, inspector company name, inspector's printed name and signature, and includes an attestation statement confirming accuracy of reported information. Forms must be delivered to the SSD (likely a municipal utility department) within five working days, with incomplete submissions subject to rejection. The document shows multiple completed examples from inspections conducted in March 2026 by Metropolitan Fire Protection personnel.
