Fire Hydrants There are about 5,500 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 has an excellent record of keeping fire hydrants in service. Rarely is there more than a handful of hydrants inoperable at any time.
