Volunteer fire department flags hydrant access issue on water project
Summary
A resident said the Burk hydrant on the water project provides only one plug and is not adequate for the Troy Volunteer Fire Department; council said it will check with RPA and confirmed in an emergency the hydrant could be unplugged.
Blair Shupe raised concerns about hydrant availability on a water project, asking when hydrants would be taken offline and noting that the Burk hydrant "is no good to the TVFD as they need two plugs, and one is in use." Council said that the 6-inch main is still tied in and that, in an emergency, the hydrant could be unplugged; Mayor Boswell said he would doublecheck with RPA about other hydrant use.
Council and staff gave no timeline for hydrant changes and assigned the mayor to confirm technical details with RPA; no formal action or infrastructure change was decided at the meeting.
