Standpipes ?
« on: June 11, 2013, 06:07:41 am »
How often do members on here use them, and how condensed are the WO hydrants . . . . are there a few on each street ?

Thanks for any replies.

You'll more than likely find them in cul-de-sacs. In Gt Manc there's lids with just 'Water' on, we use them too. It can be a ba**ard finding them and sometimes you'll see a 'WO' lid but there will be an 'H' yellow hydrant plate on a wall near it indicating it's an FH. Go off the plate and not the lid.

Therefore, vice versa. If there's an FH lid but no plate you'll get away with using it.

I was wondering the same . . . I made a reply to it, but when it disappeared I just figured it was all a dream !
