Use of MDC Hydrant for Temporary Water Service
|
|
|
To apply for the temporary use of an MDC hydrant, customers are asked to print and fill out the application below, and bring it to the MDC Operations Headquarters Facility
located at 125 Maxim Road in Hartford. Questions regarding acceptable sizes and types of meters, backflow prevention devices and auxiliary valves can be answered at the time of application
based upon the customer's intended usage.
We encourage you to plan ahead as you may encounter some delays related to the purchase and delivery of required equipment.
A $250 non-refundable fee (good for the entire season) will be collected at the time of application which will cover the cost of one inspection of an installed backflow prevention device, a minimum water usage charge of $100,
and all related administrative costs. Usage of water over the $100 minimum will be charged at the MDC's standard rates. An additional $50 fee will be charged for testing of backflow prevention devices
with each subsequent move from one hydrant to another.
