Fire Hydrant 07
Fire Hydrant 07 : Signage: These are most common in old areas, or on new roads where more advanced signs have not been installed. These are almost always coupled with a secondary form of signage. Hydrant Marker Plates: Found on power poles, fences, or street-signs, these are a comprehensive and effective system of identification. The plate consists of several codes; H (Potable water Hydrant), RH (Recycled/Non Potable), P (Pathway, where the hydrant cover can be found), R (Roadway). The plate is vertically oriented, around 8 cm wide, and 15 cm high. Found on this plate, from top to bottom, are the following features: (1) The codes listed above, Potable/Non-potable at the top, Path/Roadway on the bottom of the plate. (2) Below this, a number giving the distance to the hydrant (in meters), then a second number below that giving the size (in millimeters) of the water main. (3) A black line across the center of the plate indicates the hydrant is found on the opposite side of the road to which the plate is affixed. (4) Plates for recycled water have a purple background, as well as the RH code, normal potable hydrants are white, with the H code. (5) Road markers or Cat's eyes - Almost exclusively blue, these are placed on the center line of the road, usually with little indication on which side of the road the hydrant lies. They are visible for several hundred meters at night in heavy rain, further in clear conditions
