Design and Construction - City of Fort Wayne

The City Utilities Design and Construction Resource Center provides general utility design resources, green design resources, and standard drawing and specification templates.

Design Standards Manual

The Design Standards Manual is a guide for the planning, design, and construction of stormwater and sanitary sewer collection systems, water distribution systems and facilities, and associated activities for City Utilities. Guidelines, basic design criteria, standards, and mapping are presented in the Standards.

Master Specifications

City Utilities Master Specifications are provided as a convenience and a tool for engineers doing work with or for the City Utilities. Master Specifications are provided to the Engineer with Notes to Specifier (NTS), throughout the documents. Each NTS identifies sections within the speciation that must be reviewed and edited by the Engineer. The Master Specifications are also referenced in Book 5 Materials MA2.04 Master Specifications.

CADD Resources

The appropriate Standards and Drawings are to be used as part of the Project Documents related to the CUE project and should be used in conjunction with the other Utilities Design Resources. The details are expected to be used as presented. When a special detail is created, it must not conflict with other requirements in the Standards, other City Utilities' Engineering (CUE) Standard Drawings and Details, or National CADD Standard V5.0 (NCS) guidelines. The Standards Drawings and Details are available in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document File (PDF) and Autodesk review design filed (DWF) format. The CADD Resources are also references in Book 6 CADD Standards CADD8.02 General.

Green Design Standards

The Green Design Standards Manual is a guidance document intended to supplement the City's stormwater design standards as outlined in the primary Design Standards Manual. It includes additional guidance for implementing green and sustainable design practices.

Requesting a Flow Test

As part of the design of an extension of Fort Wayne's water distribution system, flow tests from the existing system are sometimes required. Read more

Visit our GIS City Interactive Map to see Hydrant Flow data from past tests:

Zoom in to the area of interest. Select "Layers" on the left to turn on the "Fire Hydrant Flow Testing" and "Water-Facilities" layers. You may need to zoom in closer to have the water system appear (the more zoomed in the more detail-values, hydrants, annotation, etc.). Click a water line or colored dot to get information via the pop-up tool tips. Click the small arrow on the top-right to flip through the different gis features (water main, hydrant, Fire Hydrant Flow Testing) until you see the Fire Hydrant Flow Testing Data.

To receive the Hydrant flow test data for a test performed in the past or to request a new Hydrant Flow Test, click on the following link to submit a request: Request for Flow Test Data
