Kathy,
We have got the 1500 gpm at 20 psi at the dead end, so a second connection won't be required. Sorry for the delay.

Kathy,
The water model is currently not working and our IT staff is trying to get it going. If it is up and running within a day or two,
I will have the water guys go out and do a flow test to be sure of fire flows. I am pretty sure the flows are OK but just want
to double check. Sorry for the delay.
Thanks,
Clint Worthington, P.E.

Kathy,
Since I don't remember specifically checking the area north of the N Slough proposed to be served by the dead end, 1
want to model it now to be sure before 1 confirm that a loop is not necessary. My model is currently broken and I'm out al!
next week.
1 have copied Clint Worthington on this. He will model the dead end and confirm that a second connection is not required
provided he gets 1500 gpm at 20 psi at the last hydrant.
1 think it will be fine, but ! want to be sure. Sorry about the delay.
