There are over 6,640 fire hydrants on the CWLP system. Hydrants are used for fire suppression, pressure tests, and main flushing. Hydrant function can have a direct and immediate impact on the safety of human life and property. CWLP tests and maintains all fire hydrants in the city at least once each year and has an excellent record of keeping hydrants in service. Rarely is there more than a handful of hydrants inoperable at any time. Significant resources are expended in order to maintain that high level of service. In 2010, CWLP added 66 new hydrants to the water transmission and distributions system.

For more information about CWLP's water transmission and distribution system, or about the Water Division in general, select any of the topics or subtopics listed in the left-hand column of this page.
