How is it that a swimming pool in Wuhan takes water from a residential fire hydrant?

According to reports, at noon on the 22 nd, the fire hydrant mentioned by residents was found outside the swimming pool of Fuliya Garden Community. The fire hydrant is about 10 meter away from the swimming pool, and a water meter is installed in a manhole under the fire hydrant.

Mr. Miao, the person in charge of the swimming pool, said that he had operated Fuliya Swimming Pool for many years, and the water intake from the fire hydrant was approved by the relevant departments, and the water fee was paid according to the price of one ton of 3.5 yuan. "It costs about 3,000 yuan to store water in the swimming pool once."

Yang Jingli, the person in charge of the residential property, said that the swimming pool is open from June to September every year. The swimming pool will be cleaned and replaced once before opening. Because the water flow of the tap water pipe is small, the swimming pool applies for taking water from the fire hydrant and pays the water fee according to the water consumption.

"The swimming pool is ready to open these two days, and it needs to be washed. It has already paid 3,000 yuan to the property in advance." Yang Jingli said that the swimming pool is equipped with a circulating water purification device, which generally only needs to be replaced once or twice a year. At the same time, water can only be taken in the low peak period, which will not affect the domestic water and fire water in the community.

Yesterday afternoon, the relevant person in charge said that according to the provisions of the Fire Protection Law, fire protection facilities should not be used for other purposes and the matter will be investigated.
