Water Supply Forty percent of a community's overall score is based on the adequacy of the water supply system. The ISO field representative evaluated: • representative building locations in the city to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes(needed fire flow up to 3,500 gpm) • fire hydrants: size,type and installation to determine the capacity of the fire hydrants • hydrants: inspection and condition to review the fire hydrant inspection frequency, the completeness of the inspections and the condition of the hydrants item 616—Credit for Supply System The first item reviewed was Item 616 "Credit for Supply System (CSS)°. This item reviews the rate of flow that can be credited at each of the needed fire flow tests locations considering the supply works capacity, the main capacity and the hydrant distribution. The lowest flow rate of these items is credited for each representative location reviewed. A water system capable of delivering 250 gpm or more for a period of two hours plus consumption at the maximum daily rate at the fire location is considered minimum in the ISO review. To determine the score for Item 616 "Credit for Supply System", three sub items (Item 612 "Supply Works Capacity", Item 613 "Main Capacity" and Item 614 "Hydrant Distribution") need to be evaluated.
