For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The hydrant pit is simply an enclosure formed by brickwork or precast concrete which houses the hydrant.
The hydrant itself works like a very large tap; a screwdown valve is opened by the standpipe key which works like your hand opening the tap. When the screwdown valve is opened the water passes through to the outlet.
