The fire water service rates shall be set forth in the annual budget.
Water shall not be used from fire hydrants, standpipes and private fire systems for
purposes other than firefighting, unless otherwise agreed to by the department. Water
service usage as measured by detector check meters in private fire systems shall be
billed at thirty-five times the meter reading. Water service usage as measured by

other than the private fire system charge.
