No hydrant shall be used for any purpose other than the
extinguishing of fires, periodic testing of the fire-protection system or
periodic drills by a fire department, unless a permit for special use is filed
with the Water Office and the fee paid.
Proper fire officials shall notify the Town within 24
hours after the use of a Town hydrant for public fire protection to enable
the Town to inspect the hydrant and determine whether it has been returned
to its proper operating condition. A hydrant user's failure to return
a hydrant to its proper operating condition shall be deemed a violation of
this chapter.
