There's something a little different on the streets of Hartsville. Artsy hydrants are a part of the city's adopt a fire hydrant program.

You can makeover the hydrant for $25. The money goes toward fire prevention training efforts at elementary schools in Hartsville.

The mayor and his family have already signed up for the program.

"My family of course my girls loving pink and the whole pink-a-licious thing, we're going to paint our fire hydrant pink and it's going to have diamonds painted on it everywhere so it's going to the glitter pink fire hydrant for our neighborhood," Mayor Mel Pennington told NewsChannel 15.

Once you adopt the hydrant, you own it for a year. You will receive a certificate of adoption from the city.
