The Building Department shall obtain approval from the Superintendent of Public Works prior to issuance of the hydrant permit, and shall furnish copies of each hydrant permit to the Superintendent. Each hydrant turned on shall be metered by the Water Department with a calibrated hydrant meter, and the user of water from the hydrant shall be charged at the existing, established water usage rates.
