What is an altitude valve? - ANSWER-A valve that automatically
shuts off the flow into an elevated tank when the water level in
the tank reaches a predetermined level. The valve automatically
opens when the pressure in the distribution system drops the
pressure in the tank
What is the purpose of a check valve? - ANSWER-Acts as an
automatic shut off valve when a pump stops, acts to keep water
that's has already entered the system from flowing back into
the well casing, and helps prevent system pressure from
decreasing due to backsiphonage.
If a well pump motor is wired backwards the well pump will
______________? - ANSWER-Still pump some water
A water plant has a lineshaft well. The operator replaces the
packing in the packing gland on the motor. After the packing
,has been replaced there should be ___________? - ANSWER-A

A meter located in a mirror pit freezes in winter. what is the best
option that the operator has in thawing the line - ANSWER-Use
hot air heated obtained from the tailpipe of a vehicle
What is the minimum flow velocity that hydrant should be
flushed to adequately flush the line - ANSWER-100
gallons/minute
Fire hydrants in Eleanor Maine are of the dry barrel type. Why
does a dry barrel hydrant have to be completely opened when
operating - ANSWER-To get the maximum flow from the
hydrant and to run the water from flowing from the weep hole
during use which can saturate the drainfield.
The minimum vertical gap in an air gap should never be less
than________________? - ANSWER-Twice the diameter of the
discharge pipe
