I drive by this rusty old fire hydrant every day on my way into work. Finally stopped and got a shot of it today. Part of my effort to capture more interesting textures in my photos.
There are lots of old fire hydrants in the farm park. I wonder if they still work? Not interested in finding out!

He allows the fire department, but also public (eg road maintenance, urban farms) and private (eg street cleaning companies, tent festival organizers) users with the water from the public water supply network (collective water supply).

Ein Hydrant ist eine Armatur zur Entnahme von Wasser aus einem Wasserverteilungssystem. In der Regel werden, durch den Wasserversorger festgelegte, Hydranten als Teil der zentralen Löschwasserversorgung von Städten und Gemeinden genutzt. Er ermöglicht der Feuerwehr, aber auch öffentlichen (z. B. Straßenmeisterei, Stadtbetriebe) und privaten (z. B. Straßenreinigungsfirmen, Zeltfestveranstaltern) Nutzern die Wasserentnahme aus dem öffentlichen Wasserleitungsnetz (Sammelwasserversorgung).
Spezielle Hinweisschilder weisen im öffentlichen Raum auf Unterflurhydranten hin.

Mueller dry-barrel hydrant manufactured by Mueller Co. and cast at their Albertville, Alabama foundry in 1995, with a 5¼-inch main valve typical of mid-1990s municipal water systems. Installed in downtown Roswell, New Mexico, it reflects common infrastructure upgrades of that era, pairing a moderate-flow design with durable cast-iron construction suited to the local climate.
Every country has its own flavour but some of the things that make it what it is go totally unnoticed by the resident population.
