Why are the fire hydrant tops painted different colors around town?

The tops of the fire hydrants are painted different colors to note the capacity of a hydrant. Each color represents a gallons per minute range, so the Fire Department has an idea of what can be expected from that hydrant. It also helps keep our fire insurance rates down.
