Decision

Further to your request for information of the closest hydrants on Holmes Way, Horncastle, LN9 6JW. I have added the following plan extracted from Fire Service records:-

The nearest hydrant to this site is indicated as FH19274 and confirm that all Lincolnshire fire hydrants are specified in accordance with BS 750.

FH19274 is installed on a decent 125mm water main and Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue are not permitted to carry out flow testing on the Anglian Water mains network and cannot confirm if this hydrant can deliver a flow rate of 2,000 litres per minute.

Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue do not hold information on flow rates and advise that Anglian Water may be able to assist further in that matter.
