Todd. I did a test the other day. The water purveyor insisted that we shut one of the control valves on the loop and test the hydrant furthest downsteam. The gauge hydrant was upsteam ofc the test hydrant. The purveyor insisted that the loop should not be fully open. Is that corect? We were getting infp for a future system.

The effective point is the junction of flowing and non-flowing water. Often is turns out to be the intersection of the hydrant spur with the main line. There could be exceptions depending on the arrangement of the hydrants and the lead in, but that would need to be looked at individually.
