Fire Hydrant Test (SOP)

Fire Hydrant Test
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

Introduction:

Fire Hydrant Test Procedure

Purpose:

This is for the testing of any Fire Hydrant on the campus. As background, the campus is fed by a private water supply system, not a municipal system.
The system is fed by a 100,000 tank and large supply motor. This system will start automatically based on the opening of any emergency water source, (fire hydrants, sprinklers and any other emergency water source).
Once the system has been activated, the system must be turned off manually by a member of the Facilities team. 

A Facilities team member MUST be present at the time 

of the testing of any emergency system.


TESTING IS ONLY PERMITTED ONCE PER WEEK.

 PLEASE SCHEDULE IN ADVANCE WITH FACILITY OPERATIONS

Scope:

This SOP only applies to emergency systems and their subsystems.
