Hello Forum, I have an odd situation that I haven't come across before. We requested a water test and received a water test from the fire department for a project that incorporated a private hydrant. The test was performed on the private hydrant but since there was only a single hydrant on the private side of the water supply, the fire department placed the static and residual gauge on the #4 test cock on the discharge of the containment backflow preventer. I don't see an issue with this, but it was flagged in plan review and the plans were rejected based on the fact that the test was not done in an approved manner, since NFPA 291 never references using any other outlet for a static/residual reading. Has anyone worked through this, or possibly have a reference I can point the plan reviewer to other than the obvious "it's just static and residual"?
