Now, that's a yellow hydrant, which according to this website represents a flow rate of at least 500 gallons per minute. It took almost 20 minutes to get the flow cut off, which means at least 10,000 gallons washed our parking lot and flowed to the bay.
The wall next to the spray is approximately 15 feet tall.

It is nothing compared to the amount of water wasted by taking a shower every morning or flushing the toilets every time you pee or washing the car at the car wash. Billions of gallons wasted every day.
A broken fire hydrant is a drip in the ocean by comparison but it is way more dramatic than flushing toilets or washing cars or taking showers.
Your photo of it is excellent.
This must have been an amazing site. Great capture.
