How do I apply for a bulk water account?
Requirements
- A person with signing authority for the account holder contract.
- $25 for every access card issued. You will be required to have an access card for each vehicle that will use the bulk water service.
- A refundable security deposit may also be required at the time of application.

Hose requirements
Customers must provide their own fill hose to accommodate the size of adaptor they have on their tank (50mm/2” or 80mm/3”).
Please note: Only the fire stations can accommodate the 50mm (2”) hose. All stations can accommodate the 80mm (3”) hose.
The hose must be capable of withstanding 80 psi of pressure.
Your fill hose should have at least one female coupler end to connect to the male cam-lock adaptor at each station.
Ensure the length of your hose can reach from your vehicle to the cam-lock adaptor.
