[Amended 7-6-1999 by L.L. No. 3-1999]
All hydrants are under control of the Water
Department. No person shall use a wrench for opening hydrants except
one furnished for that purpose. No person, except an authorized employee
of the Department or of a Fire Department or a person holding a written
permit from the Water Department, shall disturb any hydrant or take
any water therefrom under any circumstances whatever. In case a permit
and taking water from damage is done by any person having a permit
and taking water from a hydrant for construction or other purposes,
the holder of the permit shall pay such damages and all costs and
expenses that may be incurred by reason thereof. When necessary to
make temporary connections with the fire hydrants, standard hydrant
wrenches and reducing caps, furnished by the Department, must be used,
for which a deposit, in an amount as set forth by resolution of the
Village Board of Trustees, must be made.[1] These deposits will be refunded if equipment is returned
in good condition. Any person causing damage to a fire hydrant by
collision or otherwise will be held responsible for any damage thereby,
and they should immediately report to the Police Department, giving
their name and address.
