Profile: Water-way Company offers a full line of fire fighting equipment. Our product line includes Elkhart fire fighting equipment, Newton dump valves, drop tanks, fire hoses, adapters and dry hydrants. We also offer ISO consulting and dry hydrant designs. The dry hydrant system needs a high volume body of water that is readily accessible by the fire department. Dry hydrants should be strategically located in natural water sources at intervals necessary to supply an adequate water supply all the year round. This can be accomplished by utilizing water from ponds, creeks, streams and other impounded water supplies.
