Water District Calls Meeting on Hydrants

Officers of Delaware County Rural Water, Sewer, Gas & Solid Waste Management District #9 have called a special meeting on fire hydrant policies at Patricia Island, Grove, and within the Water District, for 5 p.m. Monday, Mar. 27 at the Patricia Island Golf Clubhouse.
Residents of Patricia Island have made the fire hydrant issue a subject of discussion at the last two GMSA meetings. There is as much a 2880 feet between hydrants although the City Code calls for no more than 500 feet from houses.
A middle-of-the-night grass fire on the 15th fairway in December nearly resulted in the burning of a home, as the fire completely surrounded the house.
On the agenda are a presentation of possible additional hydrants at Patricia Island, board discussion on hydrant policies, consideration and possible action regarding policy, construction of additional fire hydrants, consideration of possible action regarding installation of one fire hydrant, and future hydrant policy for hydrants installed within the City of Grove and within the water district.
The meeting is open to interested persons.
The Water District's annual meeting is also at 5 p.m. April 3 at the Patricia Island clubhouse.
