§ 122-128. Fire hydrant installation and repairs.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    Where possible fire hydrants shall be installed at a location that minimizes the potential for traffic damage. All fire hydrants shall have individual disconnect gate valves on the horizontal connecting pipe and concrete thrust blocks between the back of the hydrant and firm, undisturbed soil.

    (b)

    All new fire hydrants installed must be inspected by the county before backfilling. A red disc will be placed on any fire hydrant which has been turned off for repairs or is out of service for any reason and immediate notice will be given to the chief of the fire department. The chief shall also be notified when such hydrant is returned to active service. When repairs have been completed, the county water system personnel will place a seal on the plug showing the date that repairs were completed and remove the warning disc.
