New York American Water Asks Customers to Shovel Out Fire Hydrants

With snow storm Jonas barreling up the East Coast, New York
American Water is asking homeowners and local businesses to clear
snow from around fire hydrants so that firefighters can connect
their equipment without delays. Deep snow can obstruct fire
hydrants and become a hindrance in fighting fires successfully.
“While our customers are removing snow from their walkways, we
hope they’d take a few minutes to also remove snow from fire
hydrants,” said Brian Bruce, president of New York American Water.
“In the event of a fire emergency, the hydrants will be more
visible to firefighters and give them easy access to connect their
hoses. We thank our customers for their cooperation and remind them
to take all necessary precautions during the storm to stay
safe.”
New York American Water is preparing for the storm and will make
every effort to ensure that customers’ water service is not
interrupted.
