Description
The Fire hydrant was in an accident about a year and a half ago. The frost line protective casing was severely damaged and shattered. The water department came out and cleaned up the shattered pieces of the casing.
The Fire hydrant was not leaking. Case closed.
Fast forward to this morning July 25, 2018
There was a fire in the area. The Fire Department could not use the hydrant. The hydrant had been shut off. You could wiggle the hydrant in its base
There was NO fire hydrant out of service tag on the hydrant. The tag was put on by the fire fighter this morning.
The water department needs to re-open the case and get the hydrant fixed and operating

Hi Guys and Gals,
FYI... Proctor St. is being repaved with asphalt. The second layer of asphalt still needs to be laid down.
It has been almost 2 months since the report was made on the fire hydrant being out of service.
If the street needs to be ripped up to fix the hydrant...
NOW would be the time to make the repairs to the fire hydrant. Before the second layer of asphalt is laid down..

Hi there!
The one year later anniversary is fast approaching!
Any time frame as to when the fire hydrant is going to be repaired?
The last time I heard anything was about December 2018.
Then I was told that the street would have to be torn up to repair the water pipe.
Due to Winter, it would have to be done this Spring. Well Spring has arrived!
Any timeline for the repairs to be done??
Thank you!!
