[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Council of the Town of Phillipsburg 4-18-1995
by Ord. No. O:95-16 (Ch. 33 of the 1969 Code). Amendments
noted where applicable.]
The Town Council has determined that it is necessary, in order to promote
the safety of citizens and the preservation of property in the Town of Phillipsburg,
that all fire hydrants within the Town, whether on public or private property
and whether already in place or proposed, shall be maintained in working order
and in compatibility with fire-fighting equipment used by the Fire Department
of the Town. The various provisions of this chapter are to be construed to
serve the purpose aforestated.
A.
Connections. All fire hydrants with the Town of Phillipsburg
shall have hose connections conforming to the Phillipsburg Fire Department
Fire Hydrant Specifications, on file in the office of the Town Clerk and available
there for public inspection during normal office hours. In the case of preexisting
hydrants not having conforming connections built into the original equipment,
conformity may be achieved by the use of appropriate adapters to be supplied
and installed at the expense of the owner of the property on which the hydrant
is in place.
B.
Operability. All fire hydrants within the Town of Phillipsburg
shall be maintained in such condition that they can be readily opened to produce
a steady flow of water for fire-fighting purposes at all times, using standard
tools.
All fire hydrants within the Town of Phillipsburg shall be subject to and available for inspection by Fire Department representatives at any time, to test compliance with the standards established by § 299-2 of this chapter.
In the event that a fire hydrant is found upon inspection not to meet
the standards hereinabove established, the owner of the property upon which
the hydrant is situated shall be given written notice of such deficiency and
shall remedy the deficiency within 30 days of said notice. If the deficiency
remains uncorrected after the thirty-day period, the Fire Department may without
further notice cause the hydrant to be brought into conformity or removed
and replaced. The expense thereof shall be charged to the property owner and,
if not paid, shall be certified as a lien against the property.
