fire hydrants
Streetside water sources
Fire hydrants are upright pipes with valves and spouts, placed along streets to provide water for firefighting.
Firefighters connect hoses to them to access the municipal water supply.
In American cities, illegally opened hydrants spray water for children to cool off in summer heat.
Also called fireplugs.
