| Project Description: |
| The request will provide for Fire Hydrant Water Line upgrades throughout the county. The available water source for fire control is weak and in some areas non-existent. Gadsden County relies on tanker trucks to provide water for fire suppression. This request will provide much needed fire hydrant and water line upgrades to support the fire hydrants. |
