Fire hydrants are an important part of your water service

There are about 20,000 IRWD-owned fire hydrants stationed throughout the District’s service area. These fire hydrants and the water distributed from them provide the reliable source of fire protection expected by our customers.

IRWD, like other water suppliers in Orange County, owns and maintains these hydrants to aid the Orange County Fire Authority and other firefighting entities in extinguishing fires that threaten the properties we serve.

The hydrants are also used by the District for water system operations and maintenance.
