If you live anywhere that it snows, you know why someone is asking this. In the Boston area, we ve been under 8 feet of snow for a month and you lose track of where the hydrants are. If there is a fire, firefighters lose valuable time digging them out, and when they finally get to them, they are frozen solid. A good citizen should look and see where they can help out and proactively shovel around fire hydrants. It could save property and even lives when you think about it. Some community websites have maps of this, but a sure way to find out is to type your address into Google maps and zoom in.

Answer 5

Moving a fire hydrant is a very complicated, very EXPENSIVE proposition. You'd have to petition the city council to get it moved and you'd have to have one heck of a good reason -- building a ramp for a physically disabled person may be good enough, but if it's more for personal convenience you can forget it. You can also expect the city to be reluctant if there is another solution that doesn't involve moving the hydrant. But hey, you don't know until you try, so call the city and start off with the Department of Public Works. If they don't handle it, they can tell you who does.

About 10 years ago I was assigned the responsibility for my fire deparment to create an updated fire hydrant map. It wasn't easy, we had to pull records from the zoning comission, water department, and contstruction contractors and even then we wound up driving around the city visually confirming every hydrant's type and location.

Assuming your local fire department has done the same thing, you MAY be able to request the information from them, but you better have a good reason.

Good luck.

i could help u knowing abt fire hydrants
A fire hydrant (also known colloquially as a fire plug in the USA or as a johnny pump in New York City), is an active fire protection measure, and a source of water provided in most urban, suburban and rural areas with municipal water service to enable firefighters to tap into the municipal water supply to assist in extinguishing a fire.

The concept of fire plugs dates to at least the 1600s. This was a time when firefighters responding to a call would dig down to the water mains and hastily bore a hole to secure water to fight fires via bucket brigades or, later, via hand pumped fire engines. The holes were then plugged with stoppers, which over time came to be known as fire plugs. This is the source of the colloquial term fire plug still used for fire hydrants today. After the Great Fire of London in 1666, the city installed water mains with holes drilled at intervals, equipped with risers, placing the fire plugs at street level.

It has been claimed that Birdsill Holly invented the fire hydrant, but his 1869 design was preceded by many other patents for fire hydrants, and a number of these earlier designs were produced and successfully marketed. Numerous wooden cased fire hydrant designs existed prior to the development of the familiar cast iron hydrant. Although the development of the above ground hydrant in the USA traces back to the early 1800s, underground fire hydrants — common in parts of Europe and Asia — have existed since the 1700s.

You can use this reverse phone lookup service ( http://reversephones.info )

PhoneDetective is a caller ID application that covers landline numbers, cell phones and business lines.
It's a cheap service that works great! It could be used for a much deeper search. You can use it to get hold of different varieties of background reports, and in addition cell numbers, addresses and names.. you can get unlimited reports...
I ran with this because I required to verify more numbers. You can get the name, other phone number, address history, relatives, and much more about anyone!
The completly free reverse phone lookup generally doesn't provide anything interesting. To get interesting information, money will must be paid.
The free searches don't provide considerably more than what may be found through the phone directory or personal information and they simply require your email to send spam.
The reverse phone detective search tool does work, but you should use just the service that I posted above. The last thing you want to do, is pay for a service and find the numbers you want to lookup are not available in their directory.

Answer 10

This sounds like a potential terrorists plot to blow up the water system. What other possible reason would you have for needing to know this. You could probably call the water company or city council. Good luck

Answer 11

light a house on fire and see where the firemen get water from or try google maps or go to city hall in your town
