What needed doing
The hydrant in the grounds had deteriorated and needed replacing.
What we did
We dug down to the connecting flange, took the old hydrant off and prepared the base with reinforcing bars.
Then we fitted the new hydrant to the flange and backfilled.
The result
The hydrant main has a sound hydrant in place again. Routine servicing of the fire equipment stays with whoever is contracted for it.
