Hydrant FAQs
Hydrant Locations
The city of Goodyear maintains hydrants for fire suppression for residents within the city limits. Additionally, Liberty, EPCOR, and AZ West maintain hydrants for customer areas they support within the city.
The city provides verification for hydrant locations for residents within the city limits. When a request for hydrant location for insurance purposes is submitted, the city will respond and provide confirmation of whether a hydrant is within the specified distance of the insured property.

Residents supported by Liberty, EPCOR or AZ West will need to contact those entities for verification of those hydrant locations. Click the linked map above for how to contact those providers.
