Many families in Lake Worth feared if a fire broke out in their neighborhood lives could be in jeopardy, but they are now breathing a sigh of relief.
Steve Carr has called Lake Osborne Estates home almost his entire life, and he is sleeping a bit easier.
"It does bring some relief to the neighborhood that we know we do have a fire hydrant within reach of our houses,” Carr said.
Carr has been complaining about the hydrants in his neighborhood not working for at least two years. They were covered with orange 'Not in Service" bags after a routine flushing in August.
Now, only four weeks after WPTV first reported on the problem, the city of Lake Worth confirms all of the broken hydrants in the neighborhood have been replaced.
