Artwork? or functional?

In the campground, Paul Wolff, in Elgin, Illinois, the water hydrant for the sites are often rather far from the site and often shared with another campsite. For the site that we've had while we're here, the water spigot is on the "wrong" side of the rig, so we need to run our hose underneath Gracie and then across several feet of grass to hook up. It is one of the few campgrounds we stay at where we often need to use an extension hose. When we were doing our reservations for this stay, I noticed that the information about each site includes not only the length of the site and type of electric hookups (20A, 30A, 50A), but for each site, it also lists the distance to the water hookup!

When we were on a walk one morning, Carl took a picture of one of the water spigots...

Is that abstract art?

No, it is a water hydrant with 5(!) spigots on it for 5 campsites! Needless to say, it isn't particularly close to any of the 5 sites, so they all need to stretch their hoses over a long distance.

We also think that the water pressure may be less than optimal with so many rigs using the same water hydrant.
