New Jersey American Water fire hydrants to get pressure markers and snow flags

Voorhees, NJ - New Jersey American Water fire hydrants in Lincroft, NJ will be outfitted with new water pressure markers thanks to local Boy Scout Sam Fowler. The 17 year-old scout also plans to attach more than 150 fire hydrants in Lincroft with color coded pressure bands and 5-foot tall snow flags.

As part of the project, Fowler, along with fellow scouts, will be attaching color coded bands to the hydrants. These bands, donated by New Jersey American Water, help to mark the location of the hydrants by using reflective paint. Each band will also indicate the water pressure for that specific hydrant. Each color represents a different range of water pressure capacities, which allow the firefighters to quickly determine each hydrants capacity.

This task is part of Fowler’s individual project for rank advancement within Boy Scouts. He is currently working towards earning the honor of becoming an Eagle Scout. Fowler is the administrator of the project and in charge of everything dealing with the markers.
