Town of Framingham Wants Residents to Adopt-A-Hydrant

The Town of Framingham has launched an “Adopt-A-Hydrant” program.

There are more than 2,300 hydrants in Framingham.

Each hydrant is vital to the Town’s water distribution system and emergency response, stated a press release.

The “Adopt-A-Hydrant” program will allow residents to volunteer to keep hydrants in their neighborhood accessible.

By keeping hydrants free of debris and snow, volunteers will help the Department of Public Work’s maintain a vital piece of infrastructure and firefighters respond to a fire emergency more quickly, when every second counts. By adopting a hydrant, you may be saving lives, said the release
