"In August the Department of Public Works announced the Town of Franklin's second annual fire hydrant painting contest. The project was designed to draw attention to the hydrants, promote upkeep and public awareness of the water system and foster engagement, with the ultimate goal of encouraging a sense of pride in the infrastructure among residents.

From October 6, 2023 to October 12, 2023 residents voted for their favorite fire hydrant art on the DPW's  Facebook Post . Winners were announced at the DPW Touch a Truck event on Saturday October 14, 2023.

The hydrants with the most likes were awarded prizes in the following categories:
