[Amended 3-10-1992; 4-11-2017 ATM by Art. 6]
Fire suppression systems shall be installed and maintained in
full operating condition in accordance with the provisions of NFPA
13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, current edition.
The amount of water required for sprinkler systems is as listed
below. In all cases, the most restrictive requirement applies:
A. Water supply required to be stored on site for systems installed as per §
23-7 of this article in areas where municipal water service is not available:
(1) Supply for five activated sprinkler heads for 30 minutes' duration.
(2) Supply 20 gallons per minute per sprinkler head with at least 50
pounds net head pressure at the operating sprinkler heads.
B. Water supply required to be stored on site for systems installed as per §
23-8 of this article in areas where municipal water service is not available:
(1) Supply 500 gallons for every three units. Systems must be equipped
with an automatic pump.
C. Water supply for systems installed as per §
23-7 or
23-8 of this article where municipal water is available:
(1) No supply required to be stored on site.
(2) The size of the incoming water supply shall be as agreed upon by
the Fire Chief and Building Inspector.
D. In all cases, should municipal water supply become available to a
new area, all sprinkler systems shall be attached to the municipal
system if the sprinklered property has frontage on a street or road
which obtains municipal water supply.
The specific requirements of this article may be modified by the Town of Conway Building Inspector or Fire Chief to allow alternative arrangements that will secure as nearly equivalent safety to life from fire as practical, but in no case shall the modification afford less safety to life than compliance with the provisions as set forth in §§
23-6 through
23-9.
