HAR §12-45.4-90. Hydrants out of service

Section 18.5.9.1 is amended by adding a paragraph to read as follows: The AHJ shall be notified whenever any fire hydrant is placed out of service or returned to service. Owners of private property required to have hydrants shall maintain hydrant records of approval, testing, and maintenance. Records shall be made available for review by the AHJ upon request. [Eff ] (Auth: HRS §132-3) (Imp: HRS §132-3) (This was in the previous state fire code. It allows additional requirements such as fire hydrant systems to be certified and approved before being placed into service, notification of the fire department when hydrants are placed out of service and owners of private hydrants to maintain records of approval, testing and maintenance. Section 18.5.6 in 2012 was changed to 18.5.9 in 2015. This will allow the engine company to preplan. This is consistent with 13.1.8. The reference to the county requirements is unnecessary since the AHJ already approves. The section heading is amended to mirror NFPA 1 “Hydrants Out of Service”.)
