the additional costs.

misuse or excessive use of water.
2.The District intends to provide water necessary for
fire fighting, subject to limitations due to normal
maintenance and operation of the water system;

that it will supply an unlimited amount of water to
any hydrant in the District or that it will, at all
times, maintain such hydrants in an operating
condition.

General Manager, the use of fire hydrants for other than
training and fire fighting purposes is prohibited. Any person
violating the provisions of this Section shall be subject to
criminal and civil action as prescribed by the law.
