Procedures for Fire Line Leak Detection

Listening for Pressure Changes: Acoustic tools can be used to listen for pressure differential noise in the fire line, especially at connection points between the hydrant and main line.

Identifying Leak Sources: If water is pooling near the hydrant or fire line, use acoustic equipment to identify the exact source of the leak and determine whether the hydrant or the fire line is responsible.

Marking and Documenting: After confirming the leak, mark the location and document the severity for follow-up repairs.
