[Communications] {AUA} Chicago Growers Guide (2025) Hydrant Use Permit Policy

[Tucker Kelly]

Tucker from Advocates for Urban Agriculture here, 

If you didn't know, AUA assists growers with all sorts of water-related 
resources: food safety, worker hygiene, irrigation, and water access to 
name a few. Frequently, we're helping Chicago growers get access to water 
from hydrants for the growing season. Applying for a *Hydrant Use Permit 
(HUP) <https://hup.betterstrongersaferchicago.org/#/home> *is a long, 
difficult process for a lot of growers--unfortunately, some start the 
process and never make it through it due to factors like accessibility, 
cost, compliance, and the city's prohibitive requirements.

We put together a couple of guides to help with the process: 
*Grower's Guide for Hydrant Permit Policy for 2025 
<https://www.auachicago.org/news/chicago-growers-guide-2025-hydrant-use-permit-policy>*
*Growers Guide for Custodian Caps for 2025* 
<https://www.auachicago.org/news/chicago-growers-guide-2025-custodian-caps>

I get it, it is 28°F here in Chicago, snow is coming down, and the growing 
season seems far away, but, I promise, it is not too early to get started 
on your 2025 hydrant use permit. 

For technical assistance with the HUP, custodian caps, and all agricultural 
water-related concerns, you can reach us at *water at auachicago.org. *
