Kansas City Broken Fire Hydrants

Walking around my neighborhood (Crossroads) I noticed many fire hydrants with a white shield on them. Curiosity getting the best of me I asked a water department employee who was repairing a water main break (one of many in the Crossroads) what they were. He said they were markers to tell fireman they were an inoperable hydrant. I asked why they were not fixed and he laughed and said they were too busy repairing water main breaks to repair them.

I have now noticed many hydrants all over town with the ominous white shields on them. Apparently City Hall seems to think we need an operable trolley more than operable fire hydrants.
