(A) Before final approval of a plat or issuance of an occupancy permit, the developer/builder must post a cash bond of $2,000 per fire hydrant to be installed as specified in this subchapter. If hydrants are not installed within 60 days of final approval of plats, forfeiture of bonds will take place or occupancy permit shall be denied in addition to forfeiture of bond.
(B) Fire hydrants shall not be blocked by vegetation. Fire hydrants shall not be blocked at any time by vehicles, fences, buildings, or other enhancements to property. In no case shall any of the aforementioned items be closer than ten feet to a hydrant, excepting livestock holding fences which may exist no closer than two feet to a hydrant. However, no fence shall be built between a hydrant and the highway serving that hydrant.
