Hydrants from Cities

There is always one close by (usually less than 1,000 ft. or 304 m away). Fire hydrants represent multiplicity, standards and weightiness yet show uniqueness, contexts and relief. When open, these 20 PSI pumps draw a lifeline with water up to 1,500 gallons per minute. When closed, they are PDAs for lines of public infrastructure and countless minutes of civic life.
