Should be an interesting one - one of our goals this year was to install a fire hydrant at the further reach of our system. We are pretty well covered except for this area and there are about 20 residences that don't currently have access.
Our local VFD does have pumper trucks but deploying these takes time - crucial in an emergency situation.
We had budgeted for this but the engineering costs were a lot higher than what we initially thought -- this project is about double the planned budget. We can do it but we need to watch our pennies for the next year or two.
