Hydrant Meters

Fire hydrant permit applications must be completed at our Operations & Maintenance Division, located at 2406 Snyder Avenue, Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM. Prior to obtaining hydrant meter equipment, the applicant shall file a Certificate of Insurance with the Board of Public Utilities, verifying each type of insurance coverage listed on page six of the Hydrant Meter Permit Application. Water pulled from a Board of Public Utilities' fire hydrant must be used within the Cheyenne city limits (see document below). Should you require water for use outside city limits, or for oil and gas development, please contact the Operations & Maintenance Division for additional permitting requirements and fees.
