Dry Fire Hydrant Design #41 - Part 1 - Cecil County, MD
By President Mark Davis
June 3, 2021
Last week we completed another bridge mount dry fire hydrant installation in Cecil County, Maryland. This installation replaced a fixed-installation that had "silted in" due to the sediment run-off into the stream. The bridge was owned by the County and thus permissions were easily obtained; especially since this was our fourth bridge mount installation there. Lift was under 15-feet and water quality was good and quantity was plentiful.
The new DFH replaced this one which silted in and was unusable.
