After the Town adopted the local Law giving the water department employees authority to inspect and ensure that
all Private Hydrants in the Town (41 in total) are working properly. We need as the next step adopt a fee for this
inspection that will take place on an annual basis. I have researched some local companies that preform this service.
They charge on average of $100.00 to $150.00 per hydrant inspection.
I would propose with the Boards permission that the Town charge a flat fee of $75.00 per hydrant inspection. This
will ensure that we cover our employees time for making the appointments if needed, preforming the inspection, test
completion paperwork and painting of each Hydrant bonnet that will color coordinate with all other Hydrants giving
the Fire Department the volume of flow that each Hydrant.
Thank you,
