Underground water storage tanks will be required in locations where no standing bodies of water are available to utilize for fire suppression as determined by the Fire Prevention Bureau. The tanks shall hold not less than 60,000 gallons of water in not fewer than two and not more than four tanks. The tanks will be interconnected to each other to provide for equal draw down when used by a fire pumper for draft.

All tanks shall be designed for the use proposed, shall be fiberglass or equivalent material and shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Each tank shall have a vent line of a minimum size of three inches. Each tank shall have a manhole and shall be installed to permit the cover thereof to be brought to grade level. Said manhole cover shall have a locking or similar device to prevent vandalism. One tank in each interconnecting group shall be fitted with a Muller Centurion fire hydrant, with component parts and painted as set forth in the foregoing section, § 123-28D.
