    Minimum Velocity in Potable water pipe

    The 2.5 ft/s specified in AWWA C651 is intended to remove accumulated sediment and debris from a newly installed or repaired water main. This velocity could also be applied to hydrant flushing, where the goal is the same. However, the design of a water main should not be based on a minimum...

    Loss of Pressure in Water Main

    I agree that accumulation of air in the line should not prevent water from flowing from the tap as long as adequate pressure exists. Protecting the equipment from vandalism should be considered, but placing the valve in a vault may create a potential cross connection. Ensure that the discharge...

    Air relief on pressure filters

    I am in support of installing the valve. I asked the design engineer to add it, but he thought it simply added cost without providing any benefit.

    Air relief on pressure filters

    Is an air relief valve necessary on pressure filters served by wells with submersible pumps? Since the check valve for the submersible pump maintains pressure on all of the piping above the static water level, it seems unlikely that air could be introduced this way. Will gases come out of...
