Ordinance No. 1033905 passed January 7, 1957, covering 1957 installa-
tions.
This blanket type of ordinance has been used the past twelve
years and is considered much more desirable than multiple ordinances
that were used prior to 1946.
For your information the procedure used for the installation
of fire hydrants on existing and new water lines is somewhat as follows:
Chief Nalley recommends the installation of new hydrants as re-
quired to the Water Department. The Engineering staff of the Water De-
partment reviews the recommendation. as related to our distribution
system facilities and the recommendation is passed on to the Board of
Water Works Commissioners. With few exceptions, the Board approves
the installation without revision.
Following the installation the Fire Department and the National
Board of Fire bnderwriters (Arkansas Inspection & Rating Bureau) receive
detailed drawings of the installation for insertion on their Master Map.
The fire hydrant rental is 23,3 t�Pr hydrant Apr _)W=, as set
out in Ordinance No. 9793. �'391,74, /-96-9 Za2 .,4 eos -r'rA Xt4
The last report of the National Board of Fire Underwriters
(April, 1957) recommends that additional hydrants be installed on new
and existing mains to offset a deficiency rating on this phase of our
water system facilities.
Chief Nalley can give you details on this matter, but if you
require further information from this Department, please advise.
Yours very truly,
