Airports to Get Outfitted With Mini-Hydrants for Dogs
Ryan Boyd October 24, 2016
In an effort to make airport relief areas more easily accessible to travelers with service animals, a ruling by the Department of Transportation has confirmed that airports that serve over 10,000 annual passengers must provide at least one pet relief area post-security. This change to airport facilities is estimated to cost $88 million over a 20-year period.
“We know that many of our passengers travel with their service animals or their beloved pets,” said Kim Day, CEO of Denver International Airport (DEN) said.
“Opening these relief rooms on the concourses will provide those furry companions with a comfortable and welcoming area to take care of business before or after a flight.”

IAD has had two of these for several years now - one each in the middle of the A/B concourse and the C/D concourse. Each nicely outfitted with fake grass and a fake hydrant. And appropriate supplies and water hose to clean up after you use the facility.
