How do they build up so much pressure to push out through fire hoses, yet they do not have enough pressure to break the fire hydrant? Where does the pressure come from?

There’s a plant that makes thee water drinkable. The plant sends the water through a series of pipes all over town with high pressure. When the water gets to your house it reduces the pressure through devices like a pressure regulator.
Fire hydrants don’t have pressure regulators, so the water has high pressure. And the hydrant itself is just heavy duty so it doesn’t break from the high pressure.
The house closest to the plant has the highest pressure, the house farthest away from the plant has the lowest pressure. So the pressure from the plant has to be high enough so the water can reach really far (but kinda screws over the ppl in closer homes)
