What is potentially dangerous about an unprotected outside spigot or sill cock?

0

The purpose of a sill cock is to permit easy attachment of a hose for outside watering purposes. However, a garden hose can be extremely hazardous because they are left submerged in swimming pools, lay in elevated locations (above the sill cock) watering shrubs, chemical sprayers are attached to hoses for weed-killing, etc.; and hoses are often left lying on the ground which may be contaminated with fertilizer, cesspools, and garden chemicals.
