"Hydrants can be opened legally if it?s equipped with a City-approved spray cap. One illegally opened hydrant wastes up to 1,000 gallons of water per minute, while a hydrant with a spray cap only puts out around 25 gallons per minute. Spray caps can be obtained by an adult 18 or over, free of charge, at local fire houses."

Nice find.:beer:


BTW, you gotta love it when the people who are wrong call the original poster "annoyingly stupid."

The problem is this happened in NYC so only NYC law matters. Laws in Michigan, Illinois, Maryland etc. mean nothing...
 
Kevin, that's good info. Thanks.

So, wducknuts, it appears that the answer to your original question is that it depends on your city's laws. Call the water department and ask them. They'll be able to give you a definitive answer.

er.... washing your car with water from a hydrant is illegal. I'm sure the your local water district loves you. 😛

Well, you have to have the tool that fits over the top of the fire hydrant to open the valve. Also, you don't have to open the valve all the way, either.
 
my grandpa was a cop and he used the fire hydrant out front to fill his swimming pool.....cuz it was quicker

but i think he used a special hose

and after seeing what came out of that fire hydrant i woudln't want to wash my car with that stuff....

sediment had built up in the line to the fire hydrant i guess and so it put out alot of crap in the water.....
 
Otherwise, stop posting, as you are annoyingly stupid.

FallenHero, aren't you the tit wank that made so much drama about some chlorine gas? And yet you blast him for a "Stupid" post??? Why don't you go back to pretending to be a fireman and leave Wduaqnug alone.
