They do. The barrel has to pitch slightly downhill toward the outside so it empties on its own once the handle closes. If a tap was installed dead level, or if settling has tipped it the wrong way, it holds water no matter how carefully it's shut off.

Water in the pit can be groundwater, or it can be a leak on the service line where it enters. Telling them apart matters because one is normal and the other is billed to the property. A plumber can check the meter's flow with everything inside shut off.

Two things are worth confirming: that it drains fully after use, and that the ground around the base isn't staying saturated. A hydrant that can't drain will freeze in the standpipe. Fixing it after the ground hardens is much more disruptive.

Many local water systems ask for a vacuum breaker on any hose connection, and most newer sillcocks have one built into the head. Older taps in Exeter and around here often don't. Adding one is a small job and it keeps hose water from being pulled back into the house supply if pressure drops.
