§ 52.03. USE OF WATER FROM HYDRANTS.

(A)

Fire hydrants shall not be used for obtaining potable water, except under certain extenuating circumstances wherein a request, which must be in writing, may be made to the Director of Environmental Services or his/her designee for permission to use a fire hydrant for potable water on an interim or temporary basis. The Director of Environmental Services or his/her designee must approve all such requests.

(B)

If permission to use a fire hydrant is approved by the Director of Environmental Services or his/her designee on an interim and temporary basis, the applicant shall be required to submit an application including a minimum deposit of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00). A nonrefundable installation/removal fee in the amount of one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) will be required to cover the City's cost for meter installation and removal. The customer charges and capacity charges for a two-inch meter as set forth in Section 52.34, shall be due and payable each and every month, for as long as the meter is installed, regardless of whether the meter is actually turned on and without regard to usage. All charges must be paid in full and the meter returned in serviceable condition before the deposit of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) is returned to the customer.
