Steps
Note that as of July 1, 2026, SFPUC's new Rules and Regulations Governing Hydrant Use for Temporary Water Supply took effect, along with revised charges, rates, and fees — confirm you are working from the current version, not a pre-2026 copy
Submit a Request for Temporary Use of a hydrant through SFPUC's Accounts & Services / Service Installations hydrant meter program
Coordinate with SFPUC Customer Services (525 Golden Gate Ave; phone support 8am–5pm weekdays, in-person 9am–4:30pm) for account setup and metered device issuance
Install the SFPUC-issued hydrant meter/backflow assembly for the duration of use and return it per program terms to avoid additional charges
Budget for the revised 2026 rate schedule rather than assuming older published fees still apply
Known gotchas
The July 1, 2026 rule change means any fee figures found in older blog posts or third-party guides about SF hydrant meters are likely stale — go to the SFPUC page directly for current rates
SFPUC customer service phone hours differ on Wednesdays (9am start instead of 8am) — plan call timing accordingly
This is a metered temporary-use program, not a standing retail account; long-term or recurring bulk fill needs may require a different SFPUC service arrangement
