If they became standard as you recommended above then everyone would have them. As it stands today I'm sure plenty of people turned on their landscaping sprinklers. That is what a coworker of mine did. He is on a well so they will run until the power cuts or the pump burns out.

I don't know. Every house I've lived in except 1 had hydrants. (That is 10 houses in 5 states.) The only one that didn't have a hydrant was a dublex outside of town with a well.
