ATHENS-Athens Fire and Rescue understands the color of your fire hydrant may not be on your color wheel of favorites, however, please do not opt to paint a hydrant yourself.
Athens Fire and Athens Water departments have had several issues with citizens painting hydrants so they don’t “stick out” with the color scheme of their home.
These hydrants are city property and are color coded by water pressure and for the safety of our first responders. Changing the color could potentially cause issues with fire response, which could result in harm to our responders or citizens.
Athens Fire appreciates your cooperation.
