Onsite fire hydrants must be installed at locations not obstructed by any post, fence, vehicle, growth, trash, storage or other material or thing.

The hydrants must be specified on the plan to be installed per City of Pleasanton Standard Drawing Number 15 and must be one of the types specified on said drawing. The onsite fire system may be either a privately owned or publicly owned system. If the system is publicly owned, the following apply: a. A ten foot wide public utility easement must be granted to the City covering the entire onsite fire system to and including all fire hydrants. b. After project completion, the onsite fire hydrants will be tested annually and maintained by the City. Access to all hydrants may not be hindered by fences, gates, etc. c.
