This article describes a practical hydrant meter use policy developed at Denver Water that was based on the results of a survey sent to a select group of American Water Works Association members. Of the districts requiring hydrant meter use, 82 percent were satisfied with their policies, and those not satisfied indicated they would merely increase fines or deposits.
