[Amended 3-14-1985 by Ord. No. 1475, approved 3-14-1985]
Fire hydrants located at the Carlisle Water Plant, R.D. 2, Carlisle, and adjacent to the Union Fire Company No. 1 Station at 35 West Louther Street, Carlisle, are designated as the only Borough hydrants from which water may be taken on by a tank truck, except as provided in § 251-45.
The hydrants at said points shall be metered, and each person receiving water therefrom in a tank truck shall, except in an emergency, provide a receipt for such water to a person in attendance at the water plant or fire station at the time of taking, which receipt shall indicate the amount of water taken and whether it is to be used for non-fire-fighting purposes.
A quarterly bill shall be sent to each person for non-fire-fighting water taken as above described, fees to be according to the consumption charges per 100 cubic feet established from time to time in the general water rate schedule in § 251-1 of this chapter.
[Amended 3-14-1985 by Ord. No. 1475, approved 3-14-1985]
Any person taking on water in a tank truck in violation of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $600 and costs of prosecution, and, in default of payment thereof, to imprisonment for not more than 30 days.
[Amended 3-14-1985 by Ord. No. 1475, approved 3-14-1985]
A. 
Nothing contained in this article shall apply to the filling of a tank truck operated by the Borough of Carlisle for Borough purposes; however, trucks of fire companies within the Borough are not to be deemed trucks operated by the Borough of Carlisle for purposes of this section, and the fees and other requirements of this article are fully applicable to their filling.
B. 
The Borough Engineer shall have the authority to allow the use of water from fire hydrants for other than fire-related purposes upon demonstration of a bona fide need by the party requesting to do so and upon the filing of an application with the Borough Engineer. All such water used shall be paid for at the current water rates in effect at that time and shall be calculated based either on an actual hydrant meter reading or on estimated usage agreed to by the Borough Engineer and the party requesting the use of the water.
