Of these sites, 12 were determined to have heightened significance and were studied extensively to better understand and document their character.

Unauthorized hydrant use

The unauthorized use of a city water hydrant may jeopardize fire fighting capability, create dirty water problems, or result in water main breaks. Residents are encouraged to call the City of Rochester to report situations that may involve the unauthorized use of a hydrant. If chronic misuse of a hydrant occurs, a locking device may be installed on the hydrant to prevent its unauthorized operation. Open hydrant locations may be reported at any time by calling 911.
