Should I turn off the fire hydrant during the winter months or when freezing temperatures are expected?

No. Fire hydrant meter customers or their representatives are not authorized to operate City of Durham fire hydrants or any fire hydrant that has a fire hydrant meter assembly installed on it. The fire hydrant assembly is secured in an insulated box and includes thermostatic freeze protection.
