Fire Hydrant Refurbishment

 

Project Commencement

Striped and primed hydrant

The Edisto Beach Fire Department is refurbishing 12 fire hydrants this year.  The process includes removing the old paint and rust from the hydrants using a variety of mechanical tools, followed by replacing any needed hardware, such as rusty bolts.  Next, the hydrants are painted with primer paint and then finished with a coat of fresh red paint.  The Fire Department is completing this project in-house with the assistance of the Town's Utility Department.
