Good morning, <div><br /></div><div>The website the Department of Water Management (DWM) operates as the application for the <a href="https://hup.betterstrongersaferchicago.org/#/comGardenInfo">Hydrant Use Permit (HUP)</a> is back up and running. The website had been down between May 5th and at least May 31. This meant: </div><div><ul><li>If you had not submitted an application, you could not submit one. </li><li>If you had submitted one but did not complete an application, you could not move forward. </li><li>The city could not see any existing materials submitted by applicants. </li></ul><div>With the website back up and running, the DWM is likely facing a backlog of applications and additional materials. If you need assistance or an update on your application, please email Tom Lally (Thomas.Lally@cityofchicago.org) and Elizabeth Weber (Elizabeth.Weber@cityofchicago.org). You are welcome to tag me on the correspondence. </div><div><br /></div><div>AUA and Neighborspace meet with the DWM on Thursdays during the HUP season (April-October). If you have any questions or concerns you would like us to relay directly, we would be happy to. </div></div><div><br /></div><div>For more information on the process of applying for an HUP or having a custodian cap removed, please see the <a href="https://www.auachicago.org/water-access-for-chicago-growers">resources on our website</a>. </div><div><br /></div>
