Hundreds of D.C. fire hydrants remain out of order more than a year after faulty hydrants contributed to a blaze that gutted one of the city’s grand old libraries, The Examiner has learned.

At least 208 fire hydrants have quit altogether, D.C. Water and Sewer Authority spokeswoman Pamela Mooring confirmed in an e-mail to The Examiner on Tuesday. Hundreds more are ringed with “maintenance” tags, meaning they need fundamental repairs.
