Standpipe Hire

Our standpipe hire process has changed…

From Saturday 1 February 2020 our contract partner Aquam Water Services Ltd has taken all standpipe hires and manages the end to end process. You can contact them via the below details:

Operating hydrants when attaching a standpipe

• Clean out the hydrant pit of any debris
• Spray the hydrant and standpipe with approved chlorine based spray solution
• Do not apply any bending or sideways load to the standpipe
• Operate the spindle at arms length
• Always open and close the hydrant in a slow and controlled manner
• Flush the hydrant to clear the connection point
• Do not cross thread the outlet
• Visually inspect the standpipe to confirm it is fitted correct
• Do not stand directly over the hydrant
• If any hydrant fails in operation, please report to Water Services immediately
