flow testing

does anyone have a procedure for flow testing hydrants that does not allow for property damage? i'm looking to come up with a soultion to help my small vol fd with a few hydrants that are on property where every time they have to flow (once a year) the property owner complains about the damage to the area when they are done. perhaps something that takes it to the street?"

    I too was thinking on the line of a diffuser. I wonder if the property owners would welcome a flow test, if it ensured a working hydrant if...oh say the home they lived was on fire? I certainly understand the damage point...the scales seem to go in favor of a little damage/to save property/lives.
