        "text": "Yard hydrants commonly leak due to worn-out packing, damaged O-rings, a faulty plunger or valve assembly, or a cracked standpipe, often from freezing temperatures if not properly installed or drained. While general wear is inevitable, regular inspection and proper winterization practices, especially in areas with occasional cold snaps like parts of the Las Vegas region, can help prevent leaks and extend the hydrant's lifespan.",
