How do I obtain a Hydrant Flow / Fire Flow Test?

In order to schedule a Hydrant Flow or Fire Flow Test, please contact the Water & Sewer Division at (781) 314-3820 and ask for an appointment.  The Water & Sewer Superintendent, Gerard Shaughnessy, can also be emailed at gshaughnessy@city.waltham.ma.us to arrange for an appointment. 

The fee for a Hydrant Flow/Fire Flow Test is $200.00 for the first flow test, and $100.00 per test for each additional hydrant flowed.  There is a cancellation fee of $200.00 which will be assessed in the event a scheduled test is cancelled by the customer with less than a 24 hour notice. 

The results of the Hydrant Flow/Fire Flow Test(s) should be emailed within one week of the testing to the attention of Gerard Shaughnessy at gshaughnessy@city.waltham.ma.us for city records.
