FIRE HYDRANT METER
In order to legally take water from a Fire Hydrant, you must use a Henry County Water Authority (HCWA) Fire Hydrant Meter. Release or use of water from a fire hydrant without an HCWA approved fire hydrant meter is illegal for anyone other than the Henry County Fire Department.
Applying for a hydrant meter can be done between 8:00am and 4:00pm Monday through Friday. Applications should be submitted to our Billing Department located in the Administration Building at:
- 1695 Highway 20 West, McDonough, Georgia 30253
Applications can also be emailed to: hydrantmeter@hcwa.com
After the hydrant meter application and paperwork is processed by the HCWA Billing Department, the meter can be picked up no later than 4:30pm from the HCWA Purchasing and Inventory Department located at:
- 1020 Industrial Parkway, McDonough, Georgia 30253
