Rest in Peace
Rat, they used those small ones just for one reason: cost. And didn't have sense enough to realize that more people would be added to the system and that it would cost more in the long run to upgrade later. And there are NO fire hydrants within 10 miles of here. We have an area volunteer fire department, 3 small towns within 15 miles have volunteer fire departments, and the paid city fire department 20 miles from here. They all work together, as needed, and just have to refill the trucks at flush valves on the water system, the 2" line in the local fire station, or with floating pumps from the lake.
