Reminds me of the excessive loss during a flow test; could see the elevated tank several blocks away, and with 10" UG there shouldn't have been as much loss as we witnessed. Water co checked and found partially closed valve, did a fiberglass plant with the resultant dramatically improved supply. EH with (short) 1.5" lines :)
However, a year earlier, a competitor put a tank and pump in across the street at another job, I can only guess that they took the waterflow test they got and told the owner there was insufficient supply, here's the COR for a tank and pump, thanks. Seriously, we need to do a better job for the Owners paying us for our talent. glc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dyce Geoffrey H.

Did a flow test this morning. Static 94, Residual 16, Flow 369 gpm. The head of the water department was reading the gauge. No plans to investigate (yet). Think they can design a dry system in a wood truss attic on that? Todd G.
