For most people, fire hydrants are part of the public water system and problems are handled by the municipality or other entity that has jurisdiction over the hydrant. For those with a private water main, however, you may be responsible for your own maintenance. Even if you are diligent about annual inspections and [regular maintenance duties](https://blog.parkenterpriseconstruction.com/fire-hydrant-maintenance), things can still go awry with your hydrant.

Storm sewer systems can range in design from simple residential drainage to complex municipal drains. Different piping materials are used in the construction of storm sewers. The best pipe material for the project depends on the type of system being designed, the depth of installation, and the loads being exerted on the pipe.
