Fire Flow Regulations
Adams County
Regional Water District's water system is a rural system and fire system demands were not designed or built in to the distribution
system. There are, however, many areas where
due to large pipe diameters and adequate storage a fire system may be serviced
with enough flow.
1. A customer wishing to install a fire system (sprinkler) must provide ACRWD
with the data to properly check the area where the connection is proposed.
Data
shall include the following;
•
Purpose and type of sprinkler system.
• Capacity and requirements of service.
• Exact location of service.
•
Any other detail information regarding service
2. ACRWD would then evaluate the service area to see if capacity requirements
and line size is available.
3. Plans should detail if domestic water will be used from this service connection
so as to use the proper metering techniques.
4. The customer shall be responsible for the materials; installation and maintenance
of this service after specifications are set forth by the District.
5. All material will meet the specifications as set forth by the District and
an inspection shall be made and all required
tests shall be performed before this connection can be placed into
service.
6. All connections
will require a reduced pressure detector check assembly with a metering device.
7. The customer will be responsible
for a one time surcharge fee for a water flow study, inspection fees, and necessary paperwork as well as a monthly facility
charge according to the size of the service as set forth in this policy.
8. An inspector, designated
by the District, shall be onsite at all times during the installation.
9. If domestic service is used, a monthly bill would also apply at current rates.
10. ACRWD does not, with this policy, represent that the system is adequate for
fire protection or assume any liability for
the adequacy of the system for fire protection now and in the future.
