Fire hydrants

[Gary]

The closest hydrant, a couple doors down, has been painted white.
I know the colours on hydrants are a code, fresh/not fresh water, pressure etc.
Is it illegal to paint them?

The hydrants in my neighbourhood (North Ajax) have been painted white as well - I was assuming just primer before a repaint.

Today I learned.
That's kinda neat, I've seen only blue reflective rings as far as I can remember around TO, now I know why.

Maybe that's the case here (Hamilton), but I've only seen one.

Sounds like a pretty boring street.

Ya, it's like yours, without the sand.

Mine wouldn't be out of place in Sunnyvale. Just need to draw straws to see who plays the part of The Hole (probably me).

And the cats are all WMDs.

*edit*

The street got swept (finally). It's walnut season now.

FWIW knocking one over in Sudbury early 1990's cost about $3300.00 IIRC. I don't recall the colour.

All painted today with a nice bright yellow.

Ours were all recently primed in white and have since been given the final color

Ours have these long yellow things attached to them, so that they can be found in the snow:

You can see it's been removed and stuck in the snowbank behind.

A few towns in Ontario are well-known for their fire hydrant art, Tweed and Amhertsburg are a couple of them.
