An infrastructure monitoring assembly includes a housing mountable on a fire hydrant of an infrastructure system; and a sensor coupled to the housing, the sensor configured to sense at least one condition of a fluid within the infrastructure system. An infrastructure monitoring system includes a fire hydrant of an infrastructure system; a housing mountable on the fire hydrant of the infrastructure system; and a sensor coupled to the housing, the sensor configured to sense at least one condition of a fluid within the infrastructure system.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for an infrastructure monitoring system. The infrastructure monitoring system may include an operations center; a monitoring device, the monitoring device may be coupled to a component of the infrastructure, include at least one sensor sensing at least one condition within the infrastructure, a data storage device storing data sensed by the at least one sensor, a transceiver device adapted to transmit and receive data, and a processor communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor, the data storage device, and the transceiver device, the processor may be configured to receive the data sensed by the at least one sensor, determine, based on the data sensed by the at least one sensor, if there is a problem with the at least one condition within the infrastructure that the at least one sensor sensed, upon determining that there is a problem with the at least one condition within the infrastructure that the at least one sensor sensed, transmitting a message to the operations center via the transceiver device, and periodically compiling sensing data stored in the data storage device and transmitting the compiled sensing data to the operations center via the transceiver device; and a control device, the control device may be communicatively coupled to at least one of the operations center and the monitoring device, and the control device may be configured to operate at least one output device when signaled by at least one of the operations center and the monitoring device, and the control device may be positioned within a fire hydrant.

Provided is an enclosure with an integrated hydrant. The enclosure includes a fluid flow conduit that transfers fluid from a fluid supply tube to a fluid outlet, which may be associated with the backflow preventer. The enclosure has a conduit that carries water from the fluid supply tube to the backflow preventer. Thus, a lower profile, lighter, and more aesthetically pleasing enclosure is provided.

A threadless bayonet thrust nut assembly for a hydrant, a bayonet thrust nut, and a hydrant having the same, the assembly including the bayonet thrust nut with locking features extending radially therefrom, a hydrant bonnet having retainer lugs disposed around a top opening and corresponding to the locking features, and a lock plate having downwardly extending bayonet extensions, where the locking features are configured to pass through spaces delimited by the retainer lugs when the thrust nut is maneuvered through the opening into the bonnet, where the thrust nut is rotatable between an open position in which the locking features are aligned with the spaces and a closed position in which the locking features are aligned with the retainer lugs, where the bayonet extends of the lock plate are insertable into the spaces when the thrust nut is in the closed position, and where the thrust nut in the closed position is driven against an underlying operating nut disposed with in the bonnet so as to threadlessly secure the operating nut within the hydrant.
