Hydrant Repair/Replace

4/17/2025

Through the Fire Chief's recommendations and providing a list of aging and in need of service fire hydrants around town to the city council, the council approved a phased plan to repair and replace them. Your city workers learned from Graber Backhoe while two new hydrants were installed. These hydrants include shut-off valves, so future repairs won't require shutting off water to entire city blocks.
