Any applicant desiring a temporary service from a fire hydrant shall specify in this application the location of the hydrant or hydrants from which service is desired. The Company will, when such an application has been accepted, connect the meter to a hydrant as near as possible to the requested location. The applicant shall pay a refundable deposit for each temporary service location of $4,300, an admin processing fee of $70, and installation fee of $140 are due prior to delivery of a fire hydrant meter. Cash is not accepted. This deposit check can be mailed or deposited in the drop box at our office.

If the meter is damaged or missing, the deposit shall be applied first to the cost of repairing or replacing the meter, and second to any unpaid charges. The customer will be responsible for any shortfall between the amount due and the deposit. Any balance of the deposit remaining after deduction of costs and unpaid charges will be refunded to the customer.

Backflow/Cross-Connection Information
California State Health Code
Under Title 17 and Title 22 of the California State Health Code all Backflow Prevention Devices must be tested at least once annually to ensure proper operation. The Company will mail a test form to each Customer/Shareholder that has a Backflow Prevention Device. A copy of the test and any repairs made by a Certified Tester must be filed with the water company providing water to the company/owner of the device. The Company/Owner of the device is responsible for the cost of the testing and the cost of replacing the device should said device fail testing.
Bellflower-Somerset Mutual Water Company mails out approximately 90 test notices per year under the current Backflow Prevention Device program and assesses a $115.00 charge per year per device for the maintaining of this program.
