What’s a metered hydrant?
Metered hydrants are often used by customers who need water for certain activities (e.g. roadworks, tree watering) but they have limited access to a nearby supply.
You’ll need to hire a metered hydrant if you want to obtain water from one of our designated hydrant locations. You can apply, find a location and download a log sheet below.
