Mayor Justin Elicker and Fire Chief John Alston, Jr. encourage residents, businesses, non-profit organizations and civic groups to participate in the New Haven Fire Department’s Adopt-a-Hydrant program.
There are over 2,600 fire hydrants in the City of New Haven and individuals, businesses and organizations can help support the work of the fire department, give back to their community and keep the city safer by adopting and caring for the hydrant near their home, building or workplace. This involves ensuring that the hydrant remains visible to first responders, painted with a bright color, trimmed of tall grass and vegetation, cleared of snow and ice, and that water leaks or damages are reported.
Individuals can learn more and sign up to adopt a hydrant at newhavenct.gov/adoptahydrant
