Georgetown County Water and Sewer District has scheduled to repair and/or replace existing fire hydrants and post hydrants throughout its coverage area of Georgetown County. The Contractor shall be responsible for all labor, and equipment to make the necessary replacements. Each existing fire hydrant should be already equipped with a hydrant valve which will allow the contractor to make the replacement without an interruption of service to customers. However, it will be the responsibility of the contractor to restrain or block the hydrant valve if it is not already restrained. In the event that a hydrant does not have an existing valve, the contractor shall notify GCWSD staff to schedule a time for water interruption. The contractor shall install a hydrant valve to any location that does not already have one. Contractor shall have proper signage according to SCDOT and Georgetown County standards when working along roadways. Thrust blocks shall be used when restrained pipe is not present in the existing piping to ensure hydrant will remain intact after water is restored at the hydrant.
