Village Public Works offers free flushing for district’s private fire hydrants

Buildings, Grounds & Transportation Committee · September 10, 2025

Summary

Administration reported the Village of Orfordville Public Works will provide regular flushing of the district’s two privately owned fire hydrants at no charge; the district remains responsible for repairs and noted insurance/proximity benefits to the elementary school.

Dr. Shawn Galvin and Bob Chady told the committee they met with the Village of Orfordville Public Works about the district’s two privately owned fire hydrants. Public Works offered to help maintain the hydrants by performing regular flushing without charging the district, the administrators said.

The administrators emphasized that the district would still be responsible for any repairs needed to keep the units functioning. They also said the presence and proximity of hydrants to the elementary school and potential impact on property insurance outweigh modest savings that might come from abandoning hydrant use.
