THE PICTURE BELOW INDICATES A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE WHICH IS NUMBER 1 ON OUR LIST. WITHOUT FLOW TESTING THE HYDRANT JUST YET, WE OPENED THE OPERATING NUT SLOWLY. YOU WILL NOTICE THE GROUND WATER DUE TO A BROKEN CONNECTION BETWEEN THE LOWER BARREL AND THE SHOE. THIS HYDRANT IS CAPABLE OF LAUNCHING ITSELF OVER 100 FEET STRAIGHT UP CAUSING PHYSICAL INJURY OR DEATH. THIS IS THE LAST THING A FIREMAN WANTS TO EXPERIENCE IN THE HEAT OF AN EMERGENCY!
AGAIN, THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF A LIABILITY ISSUE, THERE ARE MANY MORE... OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO INSPECT ALL OF YOUR HYDRANTS, GENERATE QUERRIES/REPORTS, AND GET THE "OUT OF SERVICE" HYDRANTS REPAIRED ASAP.
DUE TO BUDGET CONSTRAINTS, LACK OF EMPLOYEES, NEW DEVELOPMENTS, AND SO ON, FIRE HYDRANTS BECOME DIFFICULT TO MANAGE AND MAINTAIN. THIS IS WHERE HYDRANT.COM WILL ASSIST YOU AND GET THE JOB DONE.
