Annual Fire Hydrant Restoration Project Begins Monday, August 3, 2026
Beginning Monday, August 3, 2026, the City of Brenham Water Construction Department will partner with Hydrant Repair & Service, LLC to begin the FY26 Fire Hydrant Restoration Project to pressure wash, prime coat, and paint the hydrants to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommended standards.
The City of Brenham has 1,040 fire hydrants in the distribution system. For this project, the City will have 320 hydrants painted. The fire hydrant painting will be between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and will last approximately six (6) weeks. Work will take place along major corridors in Brenham (see map of areas to be painted).
The purpose of this project is to:
- Enhance the life of the hydrant
- Protect against corrosion
- Color code hydrants to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommended standards
Residents and Businesses can help by:
- Keeping cars parked away from fire hydrants
- Moving all decorations at least 10 ft away from fire hydrants
- Trimming any vegetation away from hydrants, at least 3 ft in all directions. If 3-ft clearance is not achieved, the City of Brenham will have to trim the area for work to be performed.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call 979-337-7400.
