The Canadian Fire Hydrant & Waterworks Museum


The museum is a non profit private collection and can only be viewed online in the picture galleries below.

Our collection is growing all the time so one day it may become a public museum.

The Canadian Fire Hydrant & Waterworks Museum is located in Southern Ontario, Canada.

We also have a collection of electro-mechanical sirens, hand water pumps and watermain valve box covers.

There are also a few American hydrants in our collection.

We wish to thank all the people who have donated hydrants to our Museum.


If you would like to contact the museum please pull the fire alarm below.

 

 

Hydrant picture of the month


These hydrants are a City Spec hydrant made for the City of Montreal. Nothing is known about the foundry who produced them, nor the date they were made. We would really like to have one of these hydrants in our museum. If you can provide any information about these hydrants, or provide us with one, please e-mail us.

Donor Credits

Some fire hydrants were donated courtesy of the following:

Aurora Public Works Department - Operations Division, Aurora, Ontario
Lincoln Osborne and Utilities Kingston, Kingston, Ontario
Markham Waterworks Department, Markham, Ontario
Newmarket Public Works Department - Water Division, Newmarket, Ontario
Ottawa Waterworks Department - Hydrant Repair Shop, Ottawa, Ontario
Peterborough Utilities Commission - Water, Peterborough, Ontario


If you do not have a fire hydrant to donate, but you would still like to help support the hydrant museum, please make a PayPal donation. Your gift could help save a hydrant from being scrapped, melted down and lost forever.
Most of the hydrants in our Museum were purchased from auctions, sales, classified ads, and scrap metal dealers. Preserving these hydrants has become very expensive for us. Your help would be very much appreciated, thank you.
