“This time of year it’s always an issue for us to locate hydrants when we’ve had heavy snow. This particular section of town the water department’s been very proactive in adding the hydrant markers, you can see the fiberglass posts there. We have had hydrants in the past that don’t have that marker. So when they don’t have it, it’s literally a game of like, hunt and peck with a shovel, trying to hit something metal in the snowbank,” said Captain Derek Derouin, Watertown Fire Department.
