Fire department seeks hydrant at Legends Drive to avoid training in roadway
Summary
Hooksett firefighters asked the board to pursue installing a hydrant on town property adjacent to the firehouse so crews can flow water on-site for training and avoid blocking the roadway; chair will contact Central Water and conservation for feasibility.
The fire department raised a practical infrastructure need: a hydrant near the firehouse at the end of Legends Drive to allow crews to flow water for training without blocking the road. "Just to be good neighbors and not be in their way, it would be nice to add a hydrant into our yard for training purposes," Chair David Smith said, describing instances when equipment and crews have to use the roadway.
Board members discussed alternatives including extending an existing main 20–30 feet into the parking lot versus installing a cistern, with members noting the cistern would be more expensive. Smith said he will reach out to Central Water to inquire whether the utility could donate a hydrant or what fees might apply and will report back at a future meeting. The item was placed on a future agenda for follow-up.
