Which is it, absolutely not or most likely not? Perhaps you should ask the experts which water system feeds the hydrants, it could be either.

Non-potable means it isn't up to drinking water standards. It can be water from the aquifer but not treated to drinking water standards that would make it potable or it could be reclaimed - again not to drinking water standards.

Thanks. Storm water would be reclaimed and if you want to extend the definition non-potable because it isn't treated to drinking water standards.
