Hydrant permits are sold for short-term water for construction, demolition, landscape, and other special water uses. Hydrant permits are sold over the counter in the Development Services Center of Public Works located on the 2nd floor of City Hall, 15670 NE 85th Street, and are readily available with the payment of the required deposit and completion of the permit application form.

• Type "A" permits allow a one-inch or smaller connection to the hydrant for short-term construction, demolition or landscape activities. Type "A" permits are billed a monthly administrative fee and a flat daily fee, based on rates outlined in the fee table below.
• Type "B" permits allow a valve connection to the hydrant to fill water trucks or tanks. This water may be used for construction, street or parking lot cleaning, landscape spraying or other similar uses. Type "B" permits are billed a monthly administrative fee and a flat daily fee, based on the rates outlined in the fee table below. NOTE: All Trucks and tanks must be inspected and must meet backflow prevention requirements before permits are valid.   
• Type "C" permits allow a metered connection to the hydrant. Type "C" permits are for use with hose or piping larger than one inch and/or any other uses not classified as type "A" or "B". After the paperwork is completed for the type "C" permit, the hydrant meter must be picked up from the City's Maintenance Operations Center. Type "C" permits are billed a monthly administrative fee and a commodity charge based on water usage reported. The permit holder is required to report a monthly meter reading to the Development Services Center for invoicing purposes. NOTE: Type "C" permits are contingent on meter availability.
