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.
