It is essential to ensure our water system has a reliable flow for fire suppression while still protecting the community’s water supply and access to that supply. For this reason, specific hydrants have been designated for hydrant meter use in order to minimize the effects large withdrawals can have on the system, neighborhood disruption, and safety hazards that fill-ups can cause. 

The Town has a water fill station, located at Water Treatment Plant (43234 Edwards Ferry Rd). Tanks and trucks may be filled at this location without renting a hydrant meter. 

Developers and contractors can request to lease a Town-supplied meter for use during construction and/or landscaping projects. A Hydrant Access and Meter Lease Agreement, and when applicable a tank inspection, are required annually.

New Hydrant Meter Accounts 

Contractors must submit a request form to lease a hydrant meter. Hydrant meters require a lease agreement, payment of a deposit, and if applicable, inspection of trucks and/or tanks prior to issuance. 

Existing Hydrant Meter Accounts

Hydrant meters are billed quarterly and the contractor is responsible for submitting quarterly readings as show below. Quarterly readings can be emailed to Hydrants@leesburgva.gov or complete the online Hydrant Meter Reading Form.

Failure to report readings will result in a late fee.
