Hydrant Permit Terms and Conditions

Tualatin Valley Water District (District) requires all vehicles obtaining water from District hydrants to protect the water system with an approved air gap. All permit renewals must be re-inspectedby District Water Quality staff.

It is the permit holders’ responsibility to notify the District of use or non-use in a timely manner as outlined in the provided Hydrant Packet to avoid penalty fees and/or suspension of the permit. Water usage shall be recorded and provided to the District each quarter. The permit holder will record the dates of each tank fill as well as the quantity taken. Water use will be billed as outlined in the District’s Rules and Regulations. This record is to be maintained by the permit holder and kept in the permitted vehicle.

As provided in District Rules and Regulations made available and incorporated herein, any permit holder found to be in violation of the permit Terms and Conditions may be subject to fines and revocation of the permit.

A fee of $65 is due upon application approval. The deposit is refundable less District labor charges and water usage when the construction meter is returned without damage. Hydrant meterterms are 3 months, with a maximum of 6 months.Usage charges will be determined upon return of the meter and only one renewal is allowed.

Damage to the construction meter, backflow assembly, fire hydrant, and/or TVWD’s water distribution system caused by the abuse, vandalism, neglect or misuse of the construction meter and/or fire hydrant is the responsibility of the meter holder. The deposit will be forfeited and additional costs associated with damage will be billed to the applicant by the District.

Fire Hydrant Operating Instructions

  1. Hydrant Permits allow for filling from the District’s‘green cap’ fire hydrants only; no exceptions are allowed.
  2. Remove the cap from the selected 2-inch port and install a Chapman valve; verify that the other caps are on tight.
  3. With the Chapman valve closed, open the hydrant slowly with a hydrant wrench.
  4. Open the hydrant completely to the full flow position and control the water flow with the Chapman valve.
  5. To stop the water flow, close the Chapman valve slowly, then close the fire hydrant using the hydrant wrench.

  • Open the hydrant completely to avoid erosion around the drain ports.
