Another one of our bridge-mount dry fire hydrant installations in Harford County, Maryland....this one in the Whiteford area on Graceton Road at Jacks Hole. The bridge was State owned and the new installation replaced a fixed-pipe installation that had silted over. This installation was completed in June 2021 and produced a flow of 1067 gpm during the performance installation flow test. Elevation at the bridge was 390 feet and lift at the time of the flow test was approximately 13 feet. The replacement project was funded in part by the County.
