Routine Hydrant Inspection
Spring inspections include:
Operational testing,
Flushing,
Pressure test, and
A drainage check.
Components will be checked and lubricated with gaskets and seals replaced as required.

We recommend spring and fall inspections to be completed to ensure that the hydrants are in working order year round to have them operate when you need them.
