Importing Hydrants

Importing Hydrants

Purpose

  1. The purpose of this article is to explain how to import NEW hydrants into your First Due account.

Important: If you are using an ArcGIS hydrant layer from your water company (or other source) AND rely on that source exclusively for hydrant data, you will not need to add your hydrants directly within the First Due Hydrant Module. New hydrants will appear as they are added to ArcGIS file by your water company (or other source).
