Ice Cream Cone Hydrant - Ardmore, OK - Painted Hydrants on Waymarking.com

Not long ago, this was a silver hydrant with a green cap, 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 an orange cap with a red operating nut, which suggests cherries, and the nuts on the outlet caps are also red. The cap ring, lower standpipe and breaker ring are white, while most of the hydrant is light brown with a criss-cross pattern, just like an ice cream cone. Strawberry (pink) and chocolate (brown) appear to be dripping at the bottom and the top, while the side outlet caps are pink, with white washers separating them from the operating nuts. Similarly, the front outlet cap is green with a white washer.
