[Amended 4-17-1986 by Ord. No. 404]
Technical amendments shall be as follows:
A. Hydrant use approval. A person shall not use or operate
any fire hydrant intended for use of the Fire Department for fire
suppression purposes unless such person first secures a permit for
such use from the Fire Official and the water company having jurisdiction.
This subsection shall not apply to the use of such hydrants by a person
employed by and authorized to make such use by the water company having
jurisdiction.
B. Public water supply. The Fire Official shall recommend
to the chief administrative official of the municipality the location
or relocation of new or existing fire hydrants and the placement or
replacement of inadequate water mains located upon public property
and deemed necessary to provide an adequate fire flow and distribution
pattern. A fire hydrant shall not be placed into or removed from service
until approved by the Fire Official.
C. Maintenance of fire suppression equipment. A person
shall not obstruct, remove, tamper with or otherwise disturb any fire
hydrant or fire appliance required to be installed or maintained under
the provisions of the Fire Prevention Code except for the purpose
of extinguishing fire, training or testing purposes, recharging or
making necessary repairs or when permitted by the Fire Official. Whenever
a fire appliance is removed as herein permitted, it shall be replaced
or reinstalled as soon as the purpose for which it was removed has
been accomplished. Defective and non-approved fire appliances or equipment
shall be replaced or repaired as directed by the Fire Official.
D. Street obstruction. A person or persons shall not
erect, construct, place or maintain any bumps, fences, gates, chains,
bars, pipes, wood or metal horses or any other type of obstruction
in or on any street, within the boundaries of the municipality. The
word "street," as used in this article, shall mean any roadway accessible
to the public for vehicular traffic, including but not limited to
private streets or access lanes, as well as all public streets and
highways within the boundaries of the municipality.
