The locations of valves and <br /> <br /> <br />pipelines have not been verified. Accurate as-built drawings are now <br /> <br /> <br />being made. The majority of the system is approximately forty years old, <br /> <br /> <br />and according to Mr. Natal, the cast-iron pipelines are in good condition, <br /> <br /> <br />but some of the steel and galvanized lines may be deteriorated. <br /> <br />System leakage is about double the allow.lble rate. A discussion of leak- <br />age rate is included in Section VI. <br /> <br />Carbondale line sizes, in general, are too small to provide dependable <br /> <br /> <br />service to the northeast side of Town and to meet normal standards for <br /> <br /> <br />fire protection flows.
