Be a Hydrant Hero!
Help keep fire hydrants clear of snow, ice, and overgrown grass.
Each winter, snow-covered hydrants can slow firefighters’ ability to connect to a water source. Those lost seconds spent locating and clearing a hydrant can make a critical difference during an emergency.
By working together, we can help keep our neighborhoods safe.
Protect the Source!
We care about our surface water. That's why we follow federal requirements set out to keep you and our environment safe. Learn more about our Source Water Assessment and Protection Program (SWAP) that assesses all public drinking water sources for the Grand Rapids Water System.
