Be a Hydrant Helper Today!

With the added snow this past week we're noticing that some fire hydrants are getting buried with snow.  Remember, you and your neighbors are depending on these hydrants to provide water in the event of a fire.  

 

Please keep a 3-foot clearance around your hydrant.  Snowfall, combined with frozen plowed snow bury fire hydrants under large amounts of compacted snow, thus making them difficult to find and use in an emergency.  Snow should be removed about three feet (3') away from the hydrant in all directions and a pathway cleared between the hydrant and the nearest roadway.
