Restrict number of connected features in a utility network

Question

Hello,

One of my client works with ArcGIS Pro and Utility Network on a water distribution network. He would like to limit the number of features which can be connected to a water pipe. For example, he would like to be sure that only one hydrant can be connected to one pipe (like the rules we can add in a relationship class).

May I ask if one of you know how to do it on a utility network ? Thanks a lot for your help 🙂

Thank you Bill, I will keep in mind this idea 😊

Great ! I don‘t think that my client has access to Data Reviewer but the Arcade logic is an option. Do you think more specifically of a validation or a constraint rule (I don’t use them very much) ? Thank you again.

If you modeled it as a containment association, this would work. Might not make logical sense (for a pipe to "contain" a hydrant"), but hey...it's a solution.
