Anyone else using or considering these new hydrants?

LONG BEACH, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) In Long Beach, some revolutionary new fire hydrants have been turning a lot of heads.

As CBS 2s Dana Tyler reported Tuesday, city managers said they are moving ahead with the completely redesigned hydrants to save money and lives.

The new hydrants were created by a retired New York City firefighter named George Sigelakis, who said he grew frustrated with hydrants that would not open or that did not have enough water pressure.

Sigelakis’ hydrants are now being used in a dozen states.

Doesn't the ASPCA have to sign off that it is dog friendly?

I love the claim, "it's not just a regular wrench that you can buy at Home Depot, no one can get this wrench". You mean like the Custodian that we have all over the city........no one has that wrench, yet the locals open hydrants everyday......
