mains are usually satisfactory; if wider, ten
(10) inch or larger mains are recommended.
The distribution system shall be equipped with a
sufficient number of valves so located that no
single accident, breakage, or repair to the pipe
system will necessitate the shutdown of a length
of pipe greater than 800 feet.
