	The Haight has its share of later additions to the system. The stones you see in the roadbed cap a huge cistern which sits just below street level. There are approximately 150 throughout the city and they are maintained today in order to provide water in case an earthquake should cut water lines. The city's cisterns are always heralded by green-bonneted hydrants. Also note the red-bonneted hydrants, which are outlets for the high pressure fire-fighting water line.
