The wait is over! 20 fire hydrants in downtown Athens were transformed into functional, life-saving, creative pieces of art to help celebrate 80 years of drinking water delivery service from the JG Beacham Drinking Water Treatment Plant.
The water that flows from these hydrants is our best defense against house fires. Most of us don't think about how vital water is to our economy, health, environment, and fire safety. By putting a spotlight on the hydrants, we hope to draw attention to the value of water for years to come.
