A vehicle struck a fire hydrant on Olivera Rd. near Peralta Rd. in Concord this morning just before noon.
No major injuries were reported.
Emergency crews are currently on scene trying to turn off the water.
Thanks to Luke for the top photo, and Gabby for the one on the bottom.
Speaking of which… anybody else wondering why there is so much calcium in our water… my TDS meter says 200-210 most days. Seems high.
That’s a lot higher than the annual CCWD report shows. That document says (2018) they measured a range of 12-19 mg/L. You do know that your TDS meter is measuring a lot more than just calcium, right? To google you go.
Ancient Sea Creatures.
The TDS levels will drop significantly in November.
Another case of wanton Hydrantcide!
They just keep happening. There are laws prohibiting stores from selling spray paint to minors. Should we pass a law prohibiting car dealers from selling cars to distracted drivers?
Voltra has spoken.
Another case of Hydrant vs car. When will the hydrants ever learn?
Hydrant Lives Matter!
Oooooooooo….. NICE one!!!
“It’s a GEEZER !”
I am beginning to suspect that the Hydrants are in a conspiracy with the White Picket Fence downtown that also has a history of attacking cars.
