I need access to a fire hydrant. What do I do?

KCMO Water Services Department – How to Access a Fire Hydrant for Water

1. There is a number on each fire hydrant.
2. Locate the one you want to access and record the number.
3. Go to the Fire Department at 635 Woodland Ave., #103 KCMO and get a permit for accessing the hydrant (cost is approx. $70). Or contact KCFD Don Stein at stein@kcmo.org
4. Then bring the Fire Permit to KCMO Water Services Department, 4800 E. 63rd Street, Kansas City, MO 64130 – and request access to the hydrant you need by giving them the hydrant number.
5. Pay $1500 deposit.
6. KCMO Water Services will set up an account number and issue a hydrant meter in your name.
7. KCMO Water Services will set up the hydrant meter for you before the event.
8. You will have to call KCMO Water Services and let them know when the event is over. They will come and take down the meter after the event.
9. You will get refunded your deposit fee, less the amount of water used.
