Is this legal?  If so is there any licence or permission needed to do this?

Hi there

I did a jet washing job last month and used a hydrant, you will need a licence for the area you are working in, the cost of the hire was about £80 plus what ever amount of water you used.

The water board should be able to tell you where the closest point is if that helps.
Always worth checking it works ok before you start / book  in work... we have been caught out previously when the hydrant point has been unusable, causing a delay in our work.

 What you might also find is they hold the deposit until you pay bill £73 + water, hence it can take ages to get deposit back! But they all operate differently.

Sounds like you english guys get a bargain. Scottish water want £500 for the year, But you do get unlimited water usage.

I dont think those figures quoted are for yr.. certainly not in my area, works out around the £500 figure plus vat unlimited.
