- riversflow 6y agoYeah I doubt that much water is stolen from hydrants in the US. I have heard of business using it, but as I understood it they are required to get permitting and pay for usage by monitoring their flow, at least in California.
- Scoundreller 6y agoUsually it happens at the geographic fringes of civilization where cisterns/tanks get filled from municipal water supplies. Not people running a hose to their house. But there’s also a lot of truck-delivered water used in construction/dust control. No shortage of reports/charges: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=fire+hydrant+water+theft https://duckduckgo.com/?q=fire+hydrant+water+theft
