Pennsylvania American Water Reminds Residents to Clear Snow From Hydrants

HERSHEY, Pa., Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania American Water is reminding residents to clear snow from hydrants. The record-breaking snow accumulation combined with the after-effects of plowing roads and parking lots have left many fire hydrants partially or completely buried in snow.

By keeping fire hydrants clear of snow, the public can help firefighters easily locate them and access water quickly, preserving valuable time to potentially save lives and structures.

If you have a hydrant on or near your property, please take a few minutes to clear away the snow. If you cannot clear the hydrant, please ask a neighbor or someone else who can do it for you. Remember, quick access to fire hydrants benefits everyone.
