(A) Operation. No person or persons other than those designated and authorized by the Water Department shall open any fire hydrant or standpipe belonging to the Water Department, attempt to draw water from it, or in any manner damage or tamper with it. No tool other than special hydrant wrenches shall be used to operate a hydrant valve. In cases where a temporary service has been granted and water is received through a fire hydrant, an auxiliary external valve will be provided to control the flow of water.
(B) Moving a fire hydrant. When a fire hydrant has been installed in the location specified by the property authority, the Water Department has fulfilled its obligation. A property owner or other party who desires to change the size, type, or location of the hydrant shall bear all costs of the changes. Any change in the location of the fire hydrant must be approved by the Water Department.
