Dear Mansfield Citizens,
I wanted to drop you a quick note about something super important to our community the
Mansfield Water Main Initiative for Fire Safety. It’s a big deal, and I think it’s something we all need to get behind.
Let’s talk about water for a second. We all know it’s essential for so many things, including firefighting.
But here’s the thing — our fire protection systems rely on our water infrastructure being top-notch.
Right now, though, those aging water mains need serious improvement.
They’re just not cutting it. Leaks, low pressure, low-flow or no-flow hydrants—you name it, they’ve got it.
And that’s a real problem when it comes to putting out fires fast.
This isn’t a small problem — it’s a big one.
Here are the facts: we have 60 miles of disintegrating pipe that needs to be replaced. This pipe serves almost 400 fire hydrants that are either “Low-flow” or “No-flow.”
This affects over 2400 addresses scattered across all 6 wards of the City of Mansfield.
I’m asking you to join me in getting behind the Mansfield Water Main Initiative for Fire Safety.
It’s not just about fire safety — it’s about investing in the future of our community.
Let’s make sure we are doing everything we can do to keep Mansfield safe and thriving.
Thanks for listening.
Sincerely,
Brian Schmidt
President,
