§ 11-1.08. Use of Fire Hydrants Regulated.

Latest version.

When it is necessary to use water temporarily in connection with any type of construction or other operation at a place where the water supply is inadequate for such purposes, application may be made to the Finance Department for a permit to use water from a fire hydrant. No person shall use water from, or connect any apparatus to, a fire hydrant without first obtaining a permit.

Each permit shall specify the terms and conditions of use and the fire hydrant or hydrants authorized to be used. No person shall attach to the operating stem or cap of a fire hydrant any wrench or tool that is not approved by the Public Works Department for use on fire hydrants. In addition to any other remedy available to the City, any wrench, connecting apparatus, valve, hose, or other item attached to a fire hydrant in violation of this section shall be subject to removal and confiscation by the City.
