The Washington Distribution Warehouse should use a combination of both a private
and public water system. However, whichever system is used it would have to be updated to
ensure that larger facilities will have adequate fire suppression system capabilities. I think
that the water storage system should be an elevated tank(s) storage volume between 250,000
– 500,000 gallons. This amount would give the fire department more leeway in regards to
fighting large fires in the industrial district. The size of the piping should comply with the
specification of: Primary Line 16 inches, Secondary Line 12 inches and the down distribution
level – 8 inches.
