1,100 gallons a minute

There is a lot of water power in Ada's fire hydrants. That is comforting to know, if you ever have a fire. Here, Bob Gould, village street superintendent, flushes debris and sediment from a hydrant next to the post office. On average, a hydrant can put out 1,100 gallons per minute, that's about what a family of four uses in about a week. The flushing is done annually, cleaning out the hydrants and main lines. The work will continue this week and next. (Monty Siekerman)
