Fire Hydrant Painting

Beginning Tuesday, the Village’s contractor, Go Painters, will begin painting hydrants in the northwest and southwest quadrants. Go Painters will first sandblast then prime hydrants before returning at a later date to apply the final coat of red paint. In total, 142 hydrants will be painted. The contractor will use cardboard to prevent overspray while performing the work.
