damage or tamper with it. Any violation of this regulation will be
prosecuted according to law. No tool other than special hydrant wrenches
shall be used to operate a hydrant valve. In cases where a temporary
service has been granted and water is received through a fire hydrant,

or location of the hydrant, he/she shall bear all costs of such changes.
Any change in the location of a fire hydrant must be approved by the
Water Department.
