Fire Hydrant Usage
The fire hydrants in Vernon Township are installed strictly for fire protection.
Any person or organization wishing to obtain water from the hydrants must make arrangements with the water authority prior to obtaining the water.
Under no circumstances should any person or organization procure water from Vernon Township Water Authority lines or hydrants without making arrangements with Vernon Township Water Authority.
Fire Hydrant Maintenance
The hydrants that are located along the water system and are owned by Vernon Township Water Authority are maintained and inspected on a regular basis by Vernon Township Water Authority.
Businesses located in Vernon Township that have their own fire hydrants should have their hydrants maintained and inspected on a regular basis, to be sure that the hydrant is working properly if needed.
