This document is a Hydrant Report Repair for July 2024, detailing the inspection and maintenance status of multiple fire hydrants across different locations. The comprehensive report catalogs 72 individual hydrants, categorizing their conditions into statuses such as "Repaired", "Needs Replaced", "In-Progress", "Not Found", and "Remove From Records". Key issues identified include seized operating nuts, damaged safety couplings, low water pressure, leaking from bonnets and bases, stiff stems, and hydrants struck by vehicles. The inspections were conducted between March and August 2023, with most assessments occurring in April 2023. Manufacturers noted include Mueller, Kennedy, American Darling, and M&H, with hydrant ages ranging from 1953 to 2018. Recommended actions vary from lubricating and minor repairs to complete hydrant replacement and investigating potential buried isolation valves.
