Sec. B7-12. Water supplies and fire hydrants.

Section 903.3 of the Uniform Fire Code is amended to read as follows:

903.3. Type of Water Supply. Water supply is allowed to consist of reservoirs, pressure tanks, elevated tanks, water mains or other fixed systems capable of providing the required fire flow. In setting the requirements for fire flow, the Fire Marshal may be guided by Appendix III-A.

Where water supplies available for fire protection do not meet the requirements of Appendix III-A, an approved (approved means as approved by the Fire Marshal) automatic fire sprinkler system installed throughout the building will be an acceptable alternate to all or a portion of the water supply required, as determined by the Fire Marshal, provided that a sprinkler system is not otherwise required by this code or the building code.

(Ord. No. NS-1100.89, § 1, 10-22-02)
