FIRE HYDRANT LEAD. That portion of the fire hydrant branch line from the main to the fire hydrant auxiliary valve.
FIRE SERVICE LINE. Pipe and appurtenances delivering water from the town water distribution system to a building fire extinguishing system. Fire service lines may be located on private property or in public right-of-way and are owned, operated, and maintained by the property being served.
L LENGTH FOR JOINT RESTRAINING DEVICES. The length of pipe from a fitting, valve, or feature that needs to have each pipe joint within that length restrained.

PROPERTY WATER DISTRIBUTING SYSTEM. Those pipes within the building or the premises which convey water from the water service pipe to the point of use. For purposes of this definition, the property water distributing system begins five feet outside of the building and will usually be the same pipe material as the water service line up to where it actually enters the building.
PSI. Pounds per square inch.
TRANSMISSION MAIN. A water main that supplies many tributary branches, serves a large area, and has few taps.
WATER MAINS. Those pipes of at least six inches in diameter, which will be installed in public right-of-way or easements and will become a part of the town water distribution system and which will be owned, operated, and maintained by the town.
