🔑 Who Maintains the Hydrants?
Painting & Maintenance: Hydrants in Los Angeles are maintained and painted by LADWP (Los Angeles Department of Water & Power).
Hydrant Colors: A hydrant painted with a red top generally means it is a high-pressure hydrant, often critical for hillside communities like ours. Otherwise, hydrants are generally painted yellow.
Annual Process: Requests for hydrant repainting are officially included in the LAFD’s (Los Angeles Fire Department) annual report to LADWP, usually transmitted each June.
If you notice a hydrant that is faded, damaged, or obstructed, the correct channel is to submit a MyLA311 request, and also alert the Los Angeles City Council District 4 field representative for Outpost Estates, and our local LAFD station #41 so they can include it in their reporting to LADWP.
🔥 Fire Safety: An ONA Priority
