In 1791 werden in het kader van de brandbestrijding twee waterputten aangelegd, de ene tegenover het Gogelhuis en de andere op de Heuvel. Volgens de dorpsrekening waren hel 'steene waaterputten' met daarop 'blauwe hardsteenen pompen met koopere ontlastpijpen'. Johan Herman Loth uit Den Bosch kreeg er 'ses honderd en tien guldens' voor. De put op de Heuvel lag tussen de herbergen 't Moolentje (nu Heuvel 1) en de Valk (nu Marktveld 54) en de pastorie van de Sint-Pietersparochie, (waar nu de rechtervoorzijde van de St.-Petreuskerk zich bevindt). In de buurt van deze put stond ook de 'kaak', de dorpsschandpaal.

(English translation:)
In 1791, two wells were constructed for the purpose of fire fighting, one opposite the Gogel house and the other here on the Heuvel. According to the village accounts, they were 'stone wells' with 'blue stone pumps with copper relief pipes'. Johan Herman Loth from Den Bosch received 'six hundred and ten guilders' for them. The well on the Heuvel was located between the inns 't Moolentje (now Heuvel 1) and de Valk (now Marktveld 54) and the rectory of the St. Peter's parish
