Tucker from Advocates for Urban Agriculture here, <div><br /></div><div>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 <b><a href="https://hup.betterstrongersaferchicago.org/#/home">Hydrant Use Permit (HUP)</a> </b>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.</div><div><br /></div><div>We put together a couple of guides to help with the process: </div><div><b><a href="https://www.auachicago.org/news/chicago-growers-guide-2025-hydrant-use-permit-policy">Grower's Guide for Hydrant Permit Policy for 2025</a></b></div><div><a href="https://www.auachicago.org/news/chicago-growers-guide-2025-custodian-caps"><b>Growers Guide for Custodian Caps for 2025</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>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. </div><div><br /></div><div>For technical assistance with the HUP, custodian caps, and all agricultural water-related concerns, you can reach us at <b>water@auachicago.org. </b></div>
