Introduction to Water Utility Hydrant Inspections

Water Utility Hydrant Inspections can be used to streamline fire hydrant inspections and monitor inspection programs that help water utilities increase hydrant reliability.

Routine hydrant inspection is an essential activity for water utilities. Inspections help utilities make optimal maintenance and asset management decisions. Digitally recording inspections in the field and making data available across the organization means all staff have access to current information. Making fire departments aware of inoperable fire hydrants increases public safety.

The Water Utility Hydrant Inspections solution delivers a set of capabilities that help water utilities conduct routine hydrant inspections, understand asset conditions, record inspections in the field, ensure the entire organization has access to inspection information, and share hydrant status information with fire departments.

Note:

If you are a Fire Department and looking to conduct routine hydrant inspections that help you ensure hydrants perform reliably when an emergency occurs, you may be interested in the Fire Hydrant Inspections solution instead.
