Hints, Safety Tips, & Guidelines
1.) Each child should be responsible for one hydrant.2.) To the best of his/her ability, the child should clear (generally with parent participation):
- Approximately a 3-4 foot circle around the hydrant and a 3 foot path to the street.
- This should only be done on quiet, residential streets and also be done with parent supervision.
- Caps missing or broken
- Water leaking from your hydrant

5.) Do not step into the road while clearing a hydrant; have an adult help you if the plow piles are too high.
6.) If the hydrant you are adopting is across the street, an adult should accompany the child for safety reasons.
7.) If the hydrant is not on your property, be sure to ask your neighbor’s permission first!
**Never step onto the street while shoveling the hydrant. It is best to wear bright clothes!**
