Upon the approval of the application and the payment of a fee as set forth in Chapter 13.01 of this code, the district shall issue a fire hydrant permit to the applicant. The permit shall be authorization to the applicant to proceed with the installation in accordance with the permit. If the applicant proceeds with the installation in any manner other than as authorized, the district may require the applicant to redo any work that is not in accordance with the permit.

Any permit shall be valid for ninety days unless extended or renewed by the district, when good cause is shown upon the application, prior to the original expiration date.

Any permit issued in accordance with this chapter shall at all times during the performance of the work, and until completion thereof and approval by the district, be posted in a conspicuous place at or near the work and must be readily and safely accessible to the district representative. (Res. 366 § 2 (part), 1980)

No portion of the district's water system shall be shut down during any hydrant installation without first contacting the district and giving the required advance notice to area water users. The contractor shall make his own arrangements with the person or property owner(s) for whom he is working as to how the work is to be conducted and scheduled. The contractor shall also reach an understanding with the property owner(s) as to what condition the owner's property and right-of-way is to be left upon completion of the installation. The aforesaid arrangements shall be completed prior to the commencement of work.

(Res. 366 §§2 (part), 5, 1980)
All hydrant installations shall be inspected by the district. No person shall cover or backfill any hydrant installation without having approval from the district to do so. The district shall be given a request for inspection at least twenty-four hours prior to the completion of the installation. If any person covers or backfills any hydrant installation without having obtained district approval, the district shall require the installation be uncovered so that proper inspection can be made. Following inspection and acceptance, the completed hydrant assembly becomes the property of the district, provided the entire assembly is in public right-of-way or in an easement to the district. (Res. 366 §6, 1980)
Nonconforming installations shall not be permitted without express approval by the district and all variances requested of the district shall be set forth in writing.

All excavations in the right-of-way shall be made by a contractor with the proper authority to make such excavations. The public shall be protected from such excavations by sufficient guards, barricades, fencing and proper warning lights; this public protection is the responsibility of the contractor.

The contractor shall pay these charges immediately upon receipt of the bill for the work. (Res. 366 §8, 1980)
Repairs of any nature to any hydrant assembly in public right-of-way will be the responsibility of the district.
