If you missed the original message, she shut off the pump and left the
water standing in the hydrant. Hydrants must be shut off to let the
water standing in the pipe to drain into the soil at the bottom of the
hydrant. Thats the way they work. It should have been shut off
before the pump was shut off.

It wouldn't matter if the hydrant was shut off after the pump -- the only
thing that matters is if the hydrant is shut off at all.
