Description
Water is gushing at high volume out of an open fire hydrant at 612 Federal St. An angry resident on Marshall St (intersects with Federal St) claims that as "block captain," she is allowed to open/close it at will. I informed the Water Department, but and posting here to make sure others in the area know of the issue.

The fire hydrant is again gushing water into the intersection of Federal and Marshall Streets (612 Federal St). Contrary to Philly311's assurances, nothing was done about the hydrant, which is missing its cap and is turned at will by a neighbor who treats it as her personal water spicket.
I am going to call PWD now. I can't believe that its so difficult to get this addressed.

Philly311/PWD: Please read if you do not appreciate the importance of addressing this problem:
Hydrants are not playthings There are other, safer and legal ways to escape the heat of summer.
