Matt, I always like to witness the flow test whenever I can. I want to make sure they are doing it right. We have one company that charges $600 for a test and I end up doing it because they have no clue.

I wonder if anyone uses info from the water company verifies what they do. > > On Mar 3, 2017 at 8:28 AM, <Matt Grise (mailto:[email protected])> wrote: > > > > > > Many of the water companies around here will set a time and allow you to > come out and watch – is it close enough that you can supervise? > > > > > > > > > Matt > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > From: Sprinklerforum > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > [email protected] > Sent: Friday, March 03, 2017 7:08 AM > To: Sprinklerforum > Subject: Single hydrant flow tests. > > > > > > > > > > > > I recently found a local water company does their flow tests using only > single hydrants (flow and pressure on the same hydrant).
