407				<font class="Regular"> <p>Fire hydrant flow testing plays a vital role in the design of fire protection systems. One challenge during this process is the release of chlorinated water into nearby waterways. In many regions, there is no set reportable quantity for chlorinated water; instead, the concentration of chlorine in the water determines whether a report must be made. Typically, water from fire hydrants contains chlorine ... <a href='/news/743/Fire-Hydrant-Flow-Testing-Where-is-the-Water-Going'>(Full Story &amp; Photos)</a><BR></p></font></TD>
