Work is currently underway in the East River and Charles Street area and will continue moving west and south.
The process includes sandblasting, priming, and painting hydrants hazard yellow. The hydrant caps will be painted blue, green, orange, or red, each color indicating water flow volume for emergency responders.
Residents are reminded to keep at least five feet of clearance around fire hydrants, as required by City Ordinance Sec. 58-8, to allow crews to work safely.
