Hydrant Meters
Fire Hydrant Users include, but are not restricted to, special events, filling commercial swimming pools, commercial street sweeping activities, hydroseeding, paving, construction, dust control, pressure washing, and sewer flushing.
Fire Hydrant Users are required to comply with the City of Brighton Municipal Code Section 15-36 which requires backflow protection to be in place for all water taken from hydrants served by the City of Brighton Utilities Department.
An application to allow a customer to draw water from City Fire hydrants needs to be completed and evaluated by staff prior to accessing any hydrant water.
Hydrant meters must be brought back to the city at least every six months for inspection. You can return the meter Tuesdays and Thursdays between 7 am and 2:30 pm at 503 Madison St, Brighton, CO 80601. If you need to schedule a different time to bring back the meter please contact 303-655-2068, option 3.
Monthly service charges will be billed at least every six months when the meter is returned to the City according to the current bulk rates approved by the City Council. If the meter is not returned in a timely manner the City may issue an estimated bill. Monthly services charges include fixed charges as well as water usage costs.
If you have additional questions about hydrant meters please contact us at 303-655-2009 or email UtilityBilling@Brightonco.gov.
