Each year city crews inspect, flush
and flow test all public fire hydrants in the water system. And why do you ask? To ensure their operation for fire
suppression activities, to enhance water system quality, and to comply with
various National Fire Protection Association, American Water Works Association,
and Insurance Services Office standards.
So how many you ask? At last count, 1,147 of the 1,299 hydrants
were tested - as were 668 hydrant blow-offs.
So we're also almost there -
until next year, when the cycle begins again.
