Hi Bryan,
In regards to the load change I would like,an updated load letter to my attention with the revised peak demand
information. If you have a cut sheet for the new model engines I would appreciate a copy if you can attach to an.ema,il.
Even though the load change is small, I will still have my engineer review and confirm all is OK or otherwise.,
In regards to you pressure questionsi*
The current downstream delivery pressure at the outlet of our meter is 15 psi'g.'The upstream pressure will vary
depending on time of day and time of year but for reference purposes, I would feel comfortable giving a,range of
80-99 psig.
Regards,
Phil
