Where are our Water Tanks, Pipes, Pumps and Hydrants?

Map of Pipes, Pumps, Hydrants and Tanks

Hydrant's Flow Capacity -- So when the strong wind blows from the east, (the most dangerous scenario) the hydrants with the least flow are on the burning forest hillside to our east.

I cannot find any pumps other than those that pump uphill to tanks. So looks like all homes are getting water by gravity?

A first-ever master plan for making fire flow improvements began following voter approval in 1996.
Voters agreed to pay an annual $75 fire flow fee on their property tax bills to provide additional water flow for fighting fires and to help ensure the integrity of our water transmission system following a major earthquake.

In place through 2031, the fee pays for water system improvements, including replacing aging pipes and seismic stabilization/retrofits at pump stations and pipe bridges. (Review exemptions for the fire flow fee).
