The City will provide for the availability of certain hydrants designated by the City, to be used with approved meter and backflow preventer, for temporary short-term water use when a permanent water connection cannot be made or water service is not available at the time of use. The City reserves the right to refuse any temporary use of water if in the opinion of the City it is detrimental or harmful to the safety of the Public Water Supply. Approved meters and backflow prevention devices may be supplied by the City upon approval of use and all applicable fees and deposits are paid. Cost of this service will be at the current water rate charged by the City. Temporary water service rental meters are not to be used for long-term service, and are renewable only for each thirty day period or increment, if approved by the City.

Fire hydrants are intended primarily for the use of the Fire Department, and such use shall not be interfered with in any manner. A permit for the use thereof for other purposes is given only in cases where such use is considered to be an absolute necessity. The operating of fire hydrants and the drawing of water therefrom by unauthorized persons is strictly prohibited. Violators of this rule will be required to pay an assessed fee as stipulated by the fee ordinance to cover expenses and damages incurred, as well as being subject to such other penalties as may be provided as stipulated by law. No person unless authorized by the City Water Distribution Division or Fire Department shall open, operate or remove the nozzle cap from a public or private fire hydrant to which water is supplied in whole or in part by the City, or draw water therefrom, except for the purpose of extinguishing fires, without first having secured the necessary permits to do so.

Such agreement may name the Mayor, or his or her designee, as the agent for annexation proceedings pursuant to R.C. Chapter 709.

O.A.C. Chapter 3745-95 requires the public water supplier to protect the public water system from cross-connections and prevent backflow situations. The public water supplier must conduct cross-connection control inspections of their water customer's property to evaluate cross-connection hazards.
(a) No person shall install or maintain a water service connection to any premises where actual or potential cross-connections to the City Water System may exist unless such actual or potential cross-connections are abated or controlled to the satisfaction of the City; and
(b) No person shall install or maintain a connection between the City Water System and an auxiliary water system unless the auxiliary water system, the method of connection and the use of such system have been approved by the Water Treatment Plant Operator and by the director as required by R.C. § 6109.13.
