But, I am in agreement with everyone else here. Those hydrants should NOT be open and it does create hazards to have those open. Let me you ask this. If you lived across the street from an open hydrant, and lived in the basement, do you really want your basement flooding? Think about it. Also, the other people here are right, there are pools, sprinklers and a bunch of other things these people can go into. And before you think I grew up in the burbs, no way. I have lived in this neighborhood my entire life.AvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265055037044651064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-18396938507514441022011-07-18T20:49:38.733-05:002011-07-18T20:49:38.733-05:00I take offense to that Underground.

If I knew what I know now, def. not a good choice if there were to be a fire. Furthermore, there was a fire in the building next to ours, say the fire hydrant was used the day before or hours before, no pressure would exist thus putting our building in danger of getting caught on fire, which was pretty close. I think that reason itself speaks volumes.no.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06747740925348669299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-69834796007105137092011-07-18T11:26:24.630-05:002011-07-18T11:26:24.630-05:00Yes open hydrants in the city deplete needed water...Yes open hydrants in the city deplete needed water pressure in the system and can cause a dangerous situation if other hydrants around the open one need to be used during a fire. The pressure gap is enormous when one is open and the others up or down the line do not work properly. There is a reason that city officials and the CFD request constantly that people stop this act. Go buy a kiddy pool at Target for $15 and let the kids sit in it. Or get a hose and connect it to the spout on the building and let the kids hose each other down. Or go take a cold bath. Hydrants are for putting out fires and should only be touched by the City of Chicago Fire Department.Roadwolfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-56425937522259263542011-07-18T00:08:40.734-05:002011-07-18T00:08:40.734-05:00I completely disagree with undergrounded.

That rule is there for a reason.no.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06747740925348669299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-60374550661295161462011-07-17T22:39:42.066-05:002011-07-17T22:39:42.066-05:00Hey Underground, open hydrants seriously effect wa...Hey Underground, open hydrants seriously effect water pressure and other problems if there is a severe rainstorm like last year in August when my basement flooded with 22 inches of water. Do you think that those thousands of gallons of water in the sewer system didn't contribute to an already bad situation. Parents can get a kiddie pool and put it in the yard!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
