Apply for a licence
We can offer an Annual Hydrant licence or a Short Term Hydrant licence. You will need a licence for each standpipe you wish to use on our Network.
Our friendly and efficient team can often turn applications around in a day or two. However, for more complex applications, such as the withdrawal of large volumes of water (over 15m3 per day), or the use of a 63mm standpipe at a specified point, please allow up to 7 working days.
Annual licence
Access to over 280 pre-selected approved points throughout the Affinity Water network. (if you are licensed to use these points, you must closely follow the Approved Washout List)
Licences run from 1 April – 31 March and you can apply at any time.
This option allows companies to fill up and transport water over short distances to the required site.
Short-term licence
You can specify which particular hydrant you want to access to for a period shorter than a year.
This option is more suited to companies who are working on a specific site
Please note not all hydrants are suitable for use but the hydrant would be checked before and after use by one of our Technicians
Please note: It is against our Terms and Conditions to access any hydrant point other than those listed on the licence. If you use any other hydrant points, you may be charged for any unauthorised use and legal proceedings may be taken.
