Flow tests are valid for one year.

Flow tests are done in the order they are received. Flow tests will not be performed when the weather will be at or below freezing. The process will cause dangerous icing conditions.

Results will be emailed as soon as available. Requester is responsible for distributing flow test results to the project team as needed. Drawings/sketches attached to this form are for the purpose of conducting the flow test only and do not constitute an explicit/implicit formal approval by DWSD of what is shown on these drawings.
