The pressures are right (as right as can be, since WE did not take the test). The elevations were a little off, but in the direction against explanation.
Having said that, if I may seque into a hypothetical question (i know, bad stuff) and allow us to consider the case where the static pressures WERE explained by elevation difference. Still to me, I would need both the water test from the West and the test from the East, because I could not predict the flow from one given just the flow tested from the other. Is that so? And Craig's point is sage. One that I brought up yesterday. I want to leave the existing lesser connection from the East and fortify it with a new connection from the West. But the waterflow guy does not like this. He says, pick one direction, or they will abandon repair of the second connection (whichever we choose). Fine with me, just how often does underground go out, I am figuring. Yes, we would put a backflow on each line (there is none now). Why they can not maintain two connections, I do not know, but this begs my next question. How often does plastic underground fail? Soil is not hot, even if the had got iron pipe in the ground. I would think we could get 30 years of service (without tree roots or construction disturbing the line).
