It is illegal and dangerous to improperly use a fre hydrant Violators face stiff penalties and legal liability
The City of Fort Lauderdale has a process for allowing tanker trucks, contractors and other permitted customers to use designated fre hydrants as a temporary water supply under Chapters 28-172 and 28-153 of the City Municipal Code.
Applicants for a fre hydrant meter are required to sign an afdavit agreeing to abide by the City of Fort Lauderdale Code of Ordinances and all requirements for the issuance of meters. Any damaged or malfunctioning City equipment must be immediately returned to the City.
Upon approval of application and afdavit, hydrant meters are issued to the commercial customer for either a fxed hydrant location or mobile use for tanker trucks and trailers. The use of these meters must provide a specifc level of protection from contamination for the public water system.

Illustration A
Fixed hydrant locations, such as construction sites or businesses, must have a reduced pressure zone assembly (RPZ) and supply a test report once installed (see illustration A). It is the responsibility of the meter user to purchase and install the RPZ assembly. This equipment, which protects Fort Lauderdale’s water distribution system from potential contamination, is the only equipment permitted for use on a City fre hydrant at fxed location hydrants.

Illustration B
Water trucks are required to have an air gap separation, which is a physical separation between the discharge end of a fre hydrant and an open or non-pressure receiving tank (see illustration B). Any water truck not equipped with a permanent air gap system is required to utilize a RPZ assembly. It is the responsibility of the meter user to purchase and install the RPZ assembly and supply a test report. Meters are issued with a list of addresses for the location of blue capped hydrants throughout the City. These blue capped hydrants are the only hydrants to be used without prior approval of the City’s Public Works Department.
Federal, state and local laws require Cross Connection Control Programs to protect public safety. Violators of fre hydrant safety regulations above face fnes up to $250 per day as well as potential criminal penalties, legal liability and civil damages for a backfow incident including revocation of the permitted meter use.
For more information about the City’s comprehensive Cross Connection Control Program, visit www.fortlauderdale.gov/backfow or call 954-828-8000.
