§ 25.66. Temporary fire hydrant connection.

No person except authorized City of Vernon personnel shall operate or cause to be operated a fire hydrant. Water for private use from a fire hydrant can be obtained only through a temporary hydrant connection.

Application for a temporary hydrant connection shall be made in the same manner as application for regular service, and all charges and deposits shall be at the applicable rates. The Public Utilities Department will install a water service on a fire hydrant in such a manner as not to interfere with the free use of such hydrant for fire purposes, and the applicant shall pay for all water passing through such service at applicable rates.

The applicant shall be held responsible for loss or damage to the water service or services from the time of installation until the removal, or until forty-eight hours after notice in writing has been given the Public Utilities Department that termination of the service is desired.
