DESIGNATED FIRE HYDRANTS
It is essential to ensure our water system has a reliable flow for fire suppression while still protecting the community’s water supply and access to that supply. The following hydrants have been designated to minimize the effects large withdrawals can have on the system, neighborhood disruption, and safety hazards that fill-ups can cause.
The following designated hydrants are the only allowable hydrants under your permit. Use of any other hydrant is in violation of this permit and will result in immediate forfeiture of your deposit and permit revocation. Designated hydrants are identified by the Operations and Maintenance Division and are reviewed and updated on an as needed basis. Additional locations may be permitted upon request to O&M following an evaluation of the impact on the system. Updates can be obtained on-line or requested from the CS Department.
Hydrant meters located in subdivisions under construction may be used for on-site on going construction purposes. These hydrants will not be reflected on the above list, but are approved for use.
- Hydrant meters on construction sites may be used for truck wash racks in order to meet State Erosion Control Requirements. These hydrants will not be reflected on the above list, but are approved for use.
Emergency Restrictions
In order to protect the water supply in times of emergency, permits shall be temporarily suspended when the County Administrator declares a Drought Warning or Emergency or when the Authority’s General Manager declares a heightened alert. Such communications are effective upon public notice and/or direct mailing. The Authority reserves the right to suspend or revoke permits at anytime. No water withdrawals from hydrants are permitted during these times, except by the Fire Department for fire suppression. Continued usage is prohibited by law (Class 2 Misdemeanor under Section 18.2 – 162.1 of the Code of Virginia).
