Apply for a bulk water account

To apply for a bulk water account, you will need:

  • 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.
  • To modify your vehicle/tank to fit an Approved Air Gap (AAG) to prevent contamination of the public water supply.

Vehicle requirements for bulk water service

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.
