Two service valves (SV) with associated sign, flanking a Water Outlet. Although the cover in the middle says "FH" for Fire Hydrant, the sign clearly says "WO" for Water Outlet. This is normally a designated point for a standpipe, either for agricultural use or as an emergency supply for domestic users. The below-ground hardware is identical for an FH and a WO; but it is likely that the WO designation is used when the flow will not be adequate for firefighting.
