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.
