As Brigades may be aware the Aurora Estate in Epping North has in the last month switched over to using Class A recycled water for the use of residents on their properties. Class A recycled water is also available for fire fighting operations via purple marked hydrants.
Attached are interim guidelines for the use of Recycled water in fire fighting operations. These are to be used in conjunction with SOP 9.36 Recycled Water – Use and Management of.
Can you please review these guidelines and provide feedback to Operations Officer James Dullard so any enhancements or improvements can be made. Further information regarding the use of Class A recycled water will follow at a later time.
Next week via their BASO each Brigade will be provided 3 purple recycled water tags (with cable ties) per appliance for placement on delivery outlets when an appliance has been filled with recycled water. In the case of Tankers the purple tags are to be placed upon the underdeck outlets near the steps to serve as a reminder to crew climbing onto the deck that recycled water is in use. Pumpers will require purple tags on their delivery outlets as their configuration allows for.
If you have any concerns Justin Meli may be contacted on 0409 407 725 or James Dullard may be contacted on 0409 938 493.
