Pennsylvania SB591 amends Title 74 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to require the Department of Transportation to install dry hydrants for bridges crossing bodies of water if the bridge is built, modified, or rehabilitated. The installation is mandatory if the bridge meets specific criteria, such as being over 100 years old, listed on historic registers, or providing 250 gallons per minute for two hours during a 50-year drought.
