Question
There are two main types of water distribution system layouts. In the Answer system, the main line is connected back to itself and the
smaller lines join the main line at two or more locations. In the Answer system, a main distribution pipe is used, and smaller lines are
connected to the main line at only one point along the length of the main line.
The Answer is preferred over the Answer because it has isolation valves and water flows in more than one direction, which can avoid
having to shut off water to all customers in an area during repairs.
