Vallejo Municipal Code Ch. 11.40 Fire Hydrants

Fire hydrants are provided for the sole purpose of extinguishing fires and are to be opened and used only by the water system and fire department or such persons as may officially be authorized to do so.

(Ord. 324 N.C. § 10.01, 1958.)

To insure the safety of fire hydrants for fire protection, any person authorized to open fire hydrants shall use only an approved spanner wrench and shall replace the caps on the outlets when not in use.

(Ord. 324 N.C. § 10.02, 1958.)

If temporary service is to be supplied through a fire hydrant, a permit for same must be obtained from the commercial office, and such permit must be exhibited upon the work while taking water. If the hydrant is outside the city limits, the fire chief or other person of authority must approve the permit by signing same before it is validated by the commercial office.

(Ord. 324 N.C. § 10.03, 1958.)

A. Property owners and/or others desiring the removal or change in location of a fire hydrant or hydrants shall first make a request, in writing, of the water system. After obtaining the approval of the fire chief of the proposed removal or relocation, the superintendent shall prepare an estimate of cost of the proposed work. Before the water system can proceed with the work or order materials for same, the person or persons requesting the removal or relocation must deposit an amount equal to the estimated cost with the commercial office. Upon completion of the work the actual cost shall be compiled and any difference between the actual and the estimated cost shall be billed or refunded for the applicant's account.

B. If the hydrant in question is outside the city limits, the applicant must first obtain written approval of the fire district having jurisdiction over the same.

(Ord. 324 N.C. § 10.04, 1958.)
