(A) Installation. Upon receipt of instruction from city authorities, the Public Utilities Department at its own cost and expense will install, at any location on any public or private highway or thoroughfare, a standard fire hydrant or plug, having two, two and one-half-inch hose nozzle, and one four and one-half-inch streamer nozzle and six-inch cast-iron service pipe from the Department's street main, and provided further the size of the street main and the surrounding distributing system and the available pressure on said street main and the surrounding distributing system is, in the discretion of the Department, sufficient to enable the giving of proper service at the fire hydrant under normal and ordinary conditions.
('72 Code, § 36-56)
(B) Use only for fire fighting; exception. All fire hydrants or plugs shall be used for fire protection purposes exclusively. All use of fire hydrants or plugs for sprinkling, sewer flushing, watering, filling of other carts or receptacles, and any use of fire hydrants or plugs other than for strictly fire protection (meaning thereby extinguishment of fires or wetting down surrounding properties during a fire to prevent its spreading) is prohibited unless any such other use is permitted by the Department and evidenced by a written permit signed by its Superintendent, which said permit shall be exhibited to any and all employees of the Department.
