Philadelphia's High Pressure Fire System, a distinct water distribution system separate
from the city's standard pressure filtered water distribution system, was constructed a
century ago solely for fire fighting purposes in the business section of the city. This paper discusses
a study that was undertaken to assess the condition of the High Pressure Fire System and to
evaluate it's usefulness in the twenty-first century in consideration of present fire
suppression techniques, current building codes, modern fire-proofing materials, and
contemporary risk management methods. Results of the study are listed and recommendations are given. Includes 2 references.
