Technical guidelines for fire water supply from public waterworks

Abstract

In many European countries as well as in America there is no current common legislation requiring that public waterworks provide fire flows. Most public water supply systems provide fire water services to their community. In our country public waterworks do not have any decrees, regulations or technical norms either at state or local levels regarding fire flow supply from the public water supply system. Criteria for providing fire water and their classification are analyzed in this paper. Guidelines are recommended based on the determined parameters and criteria to improve the fire water supply from public distribution water systems. Recommended Technical guidelines are in compliance with the new Fire Prevention Act [19].

U mnogim evropskim zemljama i Americi trenutno nema jedinstvenih zakona koji od javnih vodovodnih kompanija zahtevaju da obezbede protivpožarne protoke. Većina javnih vodovodnih sistema pruža protivpožarne usluge zajednici koju opslužuju. U našoj zemlji javna vodovodna preduzeća ne poseduju uredbe, propise i tehničke normative u vezi sa obezbeđenjem protivpožarnog protoka iz javnog vodovodnog sistema, kako na državnom tako i na lokalnom nivou. U radu je prikazan predlog tehničkih smernica-preporuka za poboljšanje obezbeđivanja vode za protivpožarne potrebe iz javnih vodovodnih distributivnih sistema. Predlog tehničkih smernica je usaglašen sa novim Zakonom o zaštiti od požara.
