Deskripsyon

Water is gushing at high volume out of an open fire hydrant at 612 Federal St. An angry resident on Marshall St (intersects with Federal St) claims that as "block captain," she is allowed to open/close it at will. I informed the Water Department, but and posting here to make sure others in the area know of the issue.

The offender just turned off the hydrant with a wrench. But, something still needs to be done to lock off this hydrant by those who do not respect that it is for fire-fighting -- not gardening, washing the dog, cleaning the street, which is what they use it for on a regular basis (at least 3 times per week).

Reported to Water Department. A PWD Inspector should shut off the hydrant within 24 hours.
Thank you. (mb)

The fire hydrant is again gushing water into the intersection of Federal and Marshall Streets (612 Federal St). Contrary to Philly311's assurances, nothing was done about the hydrant, which is missing its cap and is turned at will by a neighbor who treats it as her personal water spicket.

I am going to call PWD now. I can't believe that its so difficult to get this addressed.

PWD says they will send a crew on Monday to lock the hydrant.

Philly311/PWD: Please read if you do not appreciate the importance of addressing this problem:

Hydrants are not playthings There are other, safer and legal ways to escape the heat of summer.

The hydrant is routinely opened for 45 minutes to an hour multiple times a week. Doing so is a waste of water and an abuse of a fire-fighting resource.

Despite PWD's assurances that the hydrant would be locked this past Monday *and* that I would receive a follow-up phone, nothing has happened. PWD = FAIL.

They did install a new (locking?) cap on it. But, the same neighbors remove it and run the hydrant anyway. I understand if there's nothing else to be done about it. I'm sure PWD has bigger fish to fry. I'll report it again if it gets out of control.

Philly311 HELP, Police need to be involved.

Lock was removed by offender yesterday and not replaced. How is a PGW hydrant lock a "lock" if the average citizen can remove it?
