You're pretty much $#^(()*^%#$. Since now you know what you really have to work with you could try and calc those big (6.3K) residential heads but then you'll need to change out the whole building. May be the cheapest way if it'll work. If not you'll need a pump. You could throw yourself prostrate before the powers and beg that they let you use an unlisted one but.... You could bite all the bullets, make it write to the owner and then sue the water dept., fire dept., whomever gave you the erroneous info and plead garbage in-garbage out: you have no way to question much less verify the numbers except by the required empirical test after all the money has been spent and all the work done. If the water company is private a hold harmless clause may not be worth &*^%#$** since they "sold" you a useless product that will now cost you money and reputation. But I don't even play an attorney on late night TV so get a good one if it comes to that. I think your only engineering options are re-piping, a different head or a pump and the middle one is iffy. One last thing. Is the incoming line dedicated and is it poly? These have been known to be crushed by vehicles driving over them prior to paving even when they're buried.
