Many thanks to one of our Members and long-time water supplely enthusiast Joe Guyther for sharing the results of some recent flow testing work done using a Humat valve as a supply point appliance for a "rural hitch" operation. Joe is the Water Supply Officer for the Mechanicsville VFD located in St Mary's County, Maryland and he along with Bay District VFD Water Supply Officer Keith Fairfax and Technician Steve Wurtz spent some time in December 2021 examining flow and friction loss through a Humat valve. All three of those folks are really good guys with a passion and knowledge for what they do and we are pleased that they took time to share the efforts of their work with us. All three guys have had a huge impact on rural water supply operations in their respective departments/areas.

In addition to reviewing the test report take a few minutes to visit the Water Supply page of the Mechanicsville VFD....Joe Guyther had a lot to do with that. Enjoy.
