Title 13 PUBLIC SERVICES
Chapter 13.04 WATER SERVICE
13.04.190 Standby fire protection service connections.
Standby fire protection service connections of two-inch size
or larger shall be installed by the city if adequate provisions are made to
prevent the use of water from such services for purposes other than fire
extinguishing. Sealed fire sprinkler systems with water-operated alarms shall be
considered as having such provision. The city may require that a suitable
detector-check meter be installed in the standby fire protection service
connection to which hose lines or hydrants are connected. All costs for standby
fire protection service connections shall be paid by the applicant. No charge
will be made for water used in the standby fire protection services to
extinguish accidental fires or for routine testing of the fire protection
system. If water is used from a standby connection service for purposes other
than to extinguish accidental fires or for routine testing of the fire
protection system, an estimate of the amount used will be computed by the
superintendent and the customer shall pay for the water so used at regular
rates. (Prior code § 3.235)
