Default Is it possible to use the roadside fire hydrants??

But are we allowed to use it without a licence/authorisation?

You can hire standpipe & valve tool from HSS - I used one to get water
during my build.

Hi,
As you may have seen from a recent post we have dug out a rather large

pond
and need to fill it before the clay dries out... We have a Yellow fire
hydrant positioned out the front of our house, my Q's are...

1) Do you think it will be possible to hire a hose connect it up and

fill
up
the pond (Under the cover of darkness)??
2) Following on, would it be detectable, in decrease in water pressure
either from homes or somewhere central.
3) If we contacted the authorities (Who is in charge of them) would we

be
able to use it and for what cost?

We are on a water meter and so are our neighbours, next door use to not

be
on a water meter and she's filled up most of the peoples ponds along the
road but now that's not an option... The cost of filling it up by hose

pipe
would cost a small fortune I imagine.
Cheers
