Not long ago, this was a standard red hydrant, and it had probably been this way since the 1990s. In 2019,
Create Ardmore and the Ardmore Fire Department worked together on a beautification effort in which fire hydrants in the downtown Cultural Arts District -- a comparatively small number compared to the over 1600 hydrants that the Ardmore FD has to maintain throughout the area! -- would be given the glamour treatment. As the Ardmore FD requires that the hydrants have a specific color cap -- red, orange, green or blue -- to indicate how much water pressure each tank has behind it, they did the priming work, leaving local volunteers to use their imaginations and minimal guidelines in the effort.
There is now a dark green cap -- there are some bits of red still peeking through -- but the rest of the hydrant is lime green, with Mike's eye on the front outlet cap. His mouth is open below the cap, revealing his white teeth.
