Application for permit to draw water

If you want to connect to the water supply network via a hydrant you must have a permit. For example, if you want to fill a water tanker. You need to apply for a permit by completing the application form and showing you understand how to draw water safely and appropriately from a standpipe or fire hydrant, along with specifying what your backflow prevention will be.
