the site as the residual hydrant.

c. A separate request should be submitted for each location.
4. Public Fire Flow Tests and Private Fire Flow Tests
a. Public tests: Public tests are tests which are conducted using hydrants located within the
public right-of-way. Only the Town of Elon (hereafter “Town”) or its representative may
conduct fire flow tests on the town’s public water system.
b. Private tests: Private tests are conducted using hydrants that are on a private water
system. The property owner or authorized agent is responsible for conducting the test.
However, a Fire Flow Application is required so that the Town or its representative can
arrange to witness the test. Any private fire flow test conducted without being witnessed
by the Town or its representative is a violation of this Town procedure.
