RE: Wednesday walk challenge and Steem Basic Income Give away
Nice pictures! It is interesting the various kinds of hydrants that are out there. Some of them are in great condition and others not so much. There is a road over near my house that has a hydrant and a sign next to it that says "dry hydrant". They just want to make it clear to fire fighters they can't connect to the hydrant and expect water...
Thanks and Yes I have seen such a variety as well, some in really good shape and some not so much so
They did a project not he towns Anniversry a few years back where people could adopt and paint a Hydrant, some of the creations were very cool and fun to see.
A dry HYdrant, for sure good to let the firefighters now, but I do wonder why keep it there if its dry
I think it is part of the water system and it is easier just to label it as a dry hydrant as opposed to removing it and then having to cap off the line. It's probably just laziness really :)
That makes sense, probably more cost effective to put up a sign than to take it out
