Nature of the Test Hydrostatic Test Remove the natural gas from the line Controlled release vents harmlessly into atmosphere Service is maintained on another system Test the integrity of the pipeline by filling the line with water Put the water under pressure for a fixed period of time

Background Hydrotesting the 18-inch pipeline system Standard, common pipeline test procedure Recent, successful pipeline tests were completed in: Began Miami-Dade testing February 2011 Hillsborough Broward Martin Pinellas Palm Beach Miami-Dade Polk St. Lucie
