Persons requiring temporary use of water from a City fire hydrant shall apply to the commissioner for permission, stating in a signed, dated application the name and title of the person submitting the application, the name of the legal entity (if applicable), address, e-mail, fax and phone, and describing the particular proposed use or uses for the water. If the commissioner concludes that the proposed use of water is necessary and will not deprive regular consumers of water of the usual supply, he shall issue a permit in writing authorizing the use of water by the applicant upon such conditions and restrictions, appropriate to the circumstances, as he sees fit to impose.
When a fire hydrant is temporarily used to provide water for construction or for filling a truck, a street sweeper, a street sprinkler or a tanker, the amount charged for the water shall be $83.78 per day. The person seeking temporary water use shall pay the pertinent amount in advance to the Department of Finance. When in the commissioner's judgment the anticipated use will exceed 1,000 cubic feet a day or continue for an extended period, he is authorized to evaluate the quantity of water to be used and assess an appropriate charge. The commissioner is authorized to waive the hydrant charge for work performed for, or on behalf of, the City.
