Hydrants on dead end streets and near parking lots are especially susceptible to being blocked. The Water and Fire Departments request that a two to three foot circle around the hydrants be left clear of significant snow accumulations to provide clear emergency access. If residents are unable to clear a hydrant or wish to report a blocked hydrant, please call the Moscow Water Department at 208-882-3122.<B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></SPAN></B></P>
