Bethpage Water District Installs Fire Hydrants for Ryder Cup

In celebration of the historic 2025 Ryder Cup that took place at Bethpage State Park from September 23-28, the Bethpage Water District installed six commemorative fire hydrants throughout the community. Four hydrants are located on the grounds of the historic Bethpage Black golf course, with two additional hydrants positioned in the Business District on Broadway.

Each commemorative hydrant features full-color imagery of the official Ryder Cup 2025 logo on one side and the Bethpage Water District’s 100th Anniversary logo showcasing the iconic Bethpage Water Tower on the other side.

Fire hydrants serve a critical role in saving and protecting lives, and the Bethpage Water District is responsible for ensuring that every hydrant within its service area is properly maintained and fully operational. The commemorative hydrants maintained full functionality while serving as unique markers at the international golf competition.

The District extends special recognition to Clow Valve, a division of McWane, Inc., headquartered in Oskaloosa, Iowa, for generously donating the commemorative hydrants displayed during this international golf competition.

While the historic Ryder Cup is over, residents and others will be able to see these unique hydrants in several months when they are removed from the Bethpage Black course and replaced with regular hydrants. The commemorative hydrants will then be displayed at the Bethpage Public Library and at the Water District Headquarters where residents can see them for decades to come.
