Not private.

Does it matter?

Ent is a specific spanner, that only Fire suppose to have for accessing hydrants?

[abbow]

so while you guys on the topic

there is a contractor with a water truck business which uses a WASA connection to fill his trucks and sell. He has contracts to supply water to construction sites etc. The worrying part is the connection was made to WASA line illegally, and its not a regular house type connection but those larger main connections. Once he is filling the several trucks he owns, water pressure for the rest of the community drops.

Many in the area have reported to WASA but nothing is done....

He had this business in the community he lives in and the people dealt with him, so he moved his operations to another community.

a kinda ben one? I doubt its illegal as there not likely a law specifically covering this- but if it is affecting water supply to bill paying customers it shouldn't be allowed. Who going and check?

Yes

There is a law

ALL THE WATER IS WASA OWN

Nobody us supposed to distribute or sell it without permission or some wasa generated work order.

If caught, they can lose their contracts and be fined.

[Ted_v2]

correct.

[ProtonPowder]

closest thing i can find, the 9 uses of the word "hydrant" didnt have anything to do with selling or resale

if anybody else want to tek a try

But, it seems that one can argue that a hydrant is defined as an appliance for supply of water to the public, as one form of a public standpipe.
