Good afternoon, Mr Bosley

 

Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act request – On-road
Fire Hydrant Testing

 

1.    We are writing to acknowledge your information request, dated 21
February 2023, regarding On-road Fire Hydrant Testing.

 

2.    Council received your request on 21 February 2023, as follows:

 

Can you please advise the dates, all Napier on Road Fire Hydrants got
checked? Fully tested out?
And by whom?

 

 3.   Response:

 

Council has no records for the checking and testing of on-road fire
hydrants in Napier City Council boundaries within the last five years.

 

Council, therefore, has decided to refuse your request under section 17(e)
of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 – that
the document containing information requested does not exist or cannot be
found despite reasonable efforts

 

While Council does not hold dates for the testing of the road fire
hydrants, the 132 hydrants are flushed as part of a regular schedule. The
schedules range from weekly to seven weeks, based on experience in
managing dirty water. The map below shows all of the flushing locations as
of 3 March 2023.

Council produced a calibrated water model for network performance in
September 2020. This provides pressure and flow for the entire city water
supply network (including bore and reservoirs). This model was run on the
current network configuration and there is sufficient for fire flow in
accordance with the FW2 fire water classification.

 

In addition, Council’s City Services – Water Operations Team undertakes
regular inspections of the hydrants when completing operational activities
such as pigging and flushing.

 

4.   If you are not satisfied with the decision(s) communicated here, you
have the option to contact the Office of the Ombudsman to request a
review.

 

The Ombudsman can be contacted at:
