25-150 gallons per minute is standard depending on the type of sprinkler head. Residential sprinklers will be closer to 25. That flow is for a SINGLE sprinkler head. Typically the fire will be extinguished by just activating one sprinkler head.

$3.15 per/hour I just did calculation based on: -- City water price of 0.015 cents per gallon of water (water & sewer) -- A GPM rating of 3.5 gallons per minute on the single sprinkler --TOTAL it costs me $3.15 per hour to run a single standard hose-type sprinkler **note: there is a large variation of in garden sprinklers. Some have GPM of 0.5 all the way up to 8. Average sprinklers run 3-4 GPM. I split the difference of the average.

Depends on the system, and it's design. Most standard sprinkler systems are designed for a 30 gallon per minute rate for each sprinkler head. Standpipes and hose lines have other design criteria, as do deluge systems. They ALL take a LOT of water!
"The average sprinkler will use in excess of 240 gallons of water per hour" also refer to http://www.libertylake.org/water_conservation.htm for watering guide. As a useful gauge: A garden hose with no nozzle attached, will spew out as much as 350 gallons per hour. So 240 sounds about right for a sprinkler system, keeping in mind that it will vary with your local water pressure and type of sprinkler system that you have. If your system has a damaged sprinkler head, you might as well be running that garden hose full blast. My sprinkler system uses 1,000 gallons in a three hour time cycle. I have six or seven zones. I suspect some of my heads are busted, since that sounds about like "garden hose figures." (333 gallons per hour)
It depends on how much water was in it to begin with and how much water is entering per minute.
93,150,000 US gallons per minute
50 gallons of water per minute equals 3,000 gallons per hour.
880 yards per minute.
150,000 gallons per seconed
