Hydrant Meter Permits
Fire hydrant meters are a specialized type of portable turbine meter that are attached to a fire hydrant to measure water out of the hydrant. Hydrant meters are typically used in construction, pool filling, or where a permanent meter is not yet installed.
Associated Fees:
Payment of a $150 non-refundable application fee and a $1,500 refundable meter and valve deposit are due at the time of application. The application fee covers account set up and the first 1,337 Cubic Feet (10,000 gallons) of water used within the first month. In addition, the applicant will pay a monthly billing fee of $10; a daily rental fee of $5 as well as a monthly Stormwater Service Charge at the current rate. Water used in excess of the first 10,000 gallons will be charged at the current industrial volume rate. Failure to reimburse the city for usage on a monthly basis is considered a violation of city code 13.15.040 which will result in immediate termination of hydrant meter usage and/or a fine of $500.00 or more.
