Not cheap by time you have paid for the standpipe hire (just short of £50 a week ...
And £1.30 a cubic metre for water plus £300 deposit on standpipe in Yorkshire waters area)
 
That is a bit much. Looks like I’ll have to get it from work.

Standpipe

Think i have seen standpipes for sale on the bay. My father worked for the water authorities so just possible there is one here some were but most Hydrants that are easy to find are were you would be seen so is that really what you want ?. Steam traction engines going to a rally carry them often but i am not sure of the rights and wrongs of it.

As far as the steam guys are concerned

I understand that NET (national traction engine trust)
Have worked long and hard to get a scheme in place to allow extraction under calm network training.... Avoiding conflict and fear of prosecution for illegal extraction.

Maybe something for those wanting free water to get together and, campaign for?

Why should campers get free water when everyone else has to pay for it ?

It's just the way 'some' folks roll.....

I'm happy with my two 4 litre bottles of spring water bought from local super market and topped up when we stop at a camp site or return home....
Till the handles drop off...
By which time it's usually time to replace the bottles with new ones anyway.
 
Interesting views. Thanks.

Wildcampers doing this are liable to upset the water companies.

Campers do not need to make more enemies.

[h=2]Know the law and don’t break it![/h]It is illegal to use a fire hydrant to obtain water for purposes other than fire fighting, unless authorised by the water authority or other person to whom the hydrant belongs. Unauthorised access to the hydrant pit is not allowed. Persons found to be using fire hydrants without the appropriate authorisation are liable to prosecution.
A person commits an offence if he/she damages or obstructs a fire hydrant and may also be liable to prosecution.
Please contact the fire hydrant Officer if you are concerned a hydrant is being used illegally.
[h=2]Think before you park[/h]In the event of fire, it can be paramount that firefighters have access to water supplies quickly. Obstruction of fire hydrants, particularly inconsiderate parking could place the lives of you, your family and your neighbours at risk.

The OP wasn't on about fire hydrants.....
 
Anyone know the law on washouts? (Marked WO). Looks like a service valve (marked SV), or fire hydrant (marked FH).
I think it a big fine, but can’t find anything.

Looks very much like he is referring to Fire Hydrants and Washout Hydrants to me.

My mistake....
I only noticed the, W/O part....

Frankly you'd have to be slightly mad to consider using a fire hydrant.
