Purpose of Fire Hydrants

Fire Suppression

The primary function of fire hydrants is the supply of water for fire protection. While there are other uses, they are considered secondary and should be controlled to ensure a hydrant is able to serve its primary purpose.

Line Flushing

A hydrant’s ease of operation and high flow capabilities make it a natural tool for use in flushing distribution system main lines. When line flushing is done in conjunction with systematic hydrant inspection, the primary function of the hydrant is also kept in perspective.

Water System Testing

The owners and operators of the water system often use the fire hydrant as a means of testing the hydraulic capabilities of the distribution system. These tests, like line flushing, should be conducted in conjunction with the need to test the distribution system flow in accordance with fire flow requirements.

Other Uses

Other common uses of the fire hydrant include a water source for street cleaning, sewer cleaning, commercial construction, street construction, recreation, and a watering point for spray applicators used by farmers, street crews, highway maintenance personnel, and commercial applicators. Of course, any use of fire hydrants for purposes other than fire protection and fire fighting should always be carefully controlled and regulated.
