French term or phrase: départ surpressé
Concerning untreated water supplied in an office building. 'A partir d'une nourrice principale, l'eau non traitée est dispatchée de la façon suivante : *départ surpressé* eau froide de la zone ... départ non surpressé eau froide pour la cuisine ...'

boost(ed) feed
Explanation:
A 'départ' is some kind of outgoing feed (looked at from the POV of "where it is coming from"), and the 'surpressé' refers to the fact that the water has had its pressure boosted by pumps (cf. the non-surpressé = incoming mains pressure) — this might, for example, be in order to maintain sufficient water pressure on the higher floors of a tall building.

In typical engineering jargon, 'boost feed' would be fine, though more properly, of course it ought literally to be 'boosted'.

Here are some examples of translations relating to surpresseur / boost in connection with water kindly found for us on the 'Net by Linguee.

By no means all of them are entirely relevant, but there is sufficient consensus for even non-technical experts to surely get the gist?

agree  Kevin Oheix: Yes, a "booster" is a "surpresseur", so it makes sense.
