The Hydrant Use Permit (HUP) for community gardens and farms is open, and as in years past, NeighborSpace and Advocates for Urban Agriculture are partnering up to support the steps (there are many!) in getting access to hydrant water. 

1.From February 7-March 14: Drop off your RPZ at the Center for Green Technology (445 N Sacramento Blvd) between 8 am and 8 pm, in the metal cart or red wagon in the lobby. There should be someone at the front desk between those hours to open the doors. Sometimes, the guard has stepped away and has locked the doors but should be back soon. It’s recommended to call the front desk to let them know you are on your way 1-312-743-7230.
