[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council
of the Borough of Eatontown 7-14-1971. Amendments noted where applicable.]
No person, other than Borough personnel, fire
company personnel and water company personnel, unless authorized by
the duly franchised water company for the area of the Borough in which
such fire hydrant is located, is permitted to operate or take water
from any public or private fire hydrant for street sprinkling, flushing
sewers, stormwater drains, or for building construction or for any
purposes other than fire protection purposes.
Unusual use of fire hydrants may be permitted
for other purposes when special permission is obtained from the water
company in writing. Permits to use hydrants will not be issued during
cold weather, more particularly the period from December 1 to April
1, but not limited thereto. The water company will permit such special
use pursuant to its own regulations.
No wrenches of any sort, other than the one
supplied with the permit, shall be used for opening or closing hydrants.
The water company will supply the Borough Public Works Department,
the Borough Police Department and the Borough fire companies with
the necessary wrenches to be retained permanently for their respective
use. Anyone using a hydrant shall display his or her permit forthwith
if requested. No attachment of any sort shall be left connected to
a hydrant except when it is in actual use. No hydrant shall be left
unattended while attachments are connected during the time it is in
use. The hydrant must be shut, attachments removed, caps replaced
and the hydrant left in readiness for instant use when unattended.
[Added 8-24-2022 by Ord.
No. 15-2022[1]]
No one shall obstruct or block the Fire Department's connections
as defined by National Fire Protection Association Standard Nos. 1,
13 and 25 and/or fire hydrants at any time.
Failure to adhere to any of the provisions of
this chapter shall be deemed to constitute a violation of this chapter.
Every person violating this chapter shall be subject to a fine of
not more than $500 or imprisonment not to exceed 90 days, or both
such fine and imprisonment, in the discretion of the Judge of the
Municipal Court.
