Permit For Hydrant Connection: Fill & Download for Free

It is not a question of well water pressure, it is a question of how long can you let your hose run wide open without depleting the well. If the flow is continuous a small above ground pool may fill in a day or two. Often the problem is that you cannot run any other dosmestic water while the pool is filling, maybe you can work around that problem.Other solutions:Pay a water hauler to truck in the water. This is not something the local water authority will do, but there are private water haulers who do it. Usually they run 5,000 or 6,000 gallon tankers.Perhaps a nearby neighbor is connected to city water and will let you attach to their hose supply, and just pay for the water. City way is waaay cheaper than trucked-in.How far away is a fire hydrant? If you can round up enough hose, you can go to the water authority for a hydrant wrench and a hose adapter and a permit. Sometimes they will charge a flat fee, or they may loan a water meter to find how much water you use, and charge for that, as well.Occassionally, in rural areas the local volunteer fire department may help with a fire hydrant connection this for a “donation”.Lastly, pumping water from a nearby stream involves pumps hoses, and then you have to deal with the dirt and germs in the water . That is a whole ‘nother question.

If i understand your question, you have a private fire hydrant system which has such poor performance that you want to remove the backflow preventor to improve performance.Question is why is the backflow preventer there? Is it a city regulation? Do you need a building permit to modify fire protection equipment (better check with municapility and fire marshal).Once you have the permits in place, call a contractor to remove the backflow preventor and replace it with a short pipe with flanges on both ends.

“If a car is parked in front of a fire hydrant, why do firefighters smash the windows? Wouldn’t it be easier to just put the hose over or around the car?”In many cases of this it is a matter of a vindictive fire suppression worker or workers and a we’ll-show-you sort of machismo. There is usually though not always adequate room for manoeuvering the hoses around such obstacles, or using available valve adapters. Some hoses are more rigid than others and there may be fewer options. And of course most US hydrants are badly designed or installed anyway, at right angles to the adjacent streets.Here is one case of apparently deliberate vindictiveness. Notice two things. One is the enormous kink in the hose as it is installed, which will tend to restrict water flow for the hose passing through the unnecessarily broken windows. Note also the valve connector at right angles to the connection being used, which if properly employed would allow the more effective radius and still permit rapid delivery to the nearby unit.This was done only for public relations and a lack of anger management.others
