ABSTRACT
A S the name implies, a water distribution system includes the network of pipes, valves, fire hydrants, meters, and other associated appurtenances used to distribute water to locations for consumer use. The distribution system is installed for two definite functions: (1) to deliver adequate quantities of water to customers, and (2) to deliver high quantities of water when needed for fire protection. In short, a water distribution system should be capable of meeting the demands placed on it at all times and at satisfactory pressures.
