The anatomy of a hydrant is a delicate and highly sophisticated mechanism designed to produce instantly enough water to fight a fire. AFTER use it is full to its bonnet with water that should drain off through an automatic drain valve and through port holes five feet underground, deeper than the frost line. This valve can, become inoperative and the undrained water remains in the upper part of the hydrant. Sometimes, if the ground becomes very wet, water may seep back through the ports and such hydrants are known as in either event they may freeze.

HERE, in Winter, is where our Hydrant Maintenance Man goes into action, looking for trouble. This is why he makes his regular rounds like a watchman, to keep you safe and sound. Fire Hydrants mean fire protection! They mean reduced insurance rates, higher property values, attractive neighborhoods and community growth. They are the outdoor salesmen for OWS, whose indoor water services are many. Watch out for the fire watches out for you.
