Where I am going with the question is the requirement to have tanked or elevated storage or reservoir storage for sprinkler systems. If the public water main is available to the Fire Service, then it is available to the building prior to the arrival of the Fire Service. To go back to the Department, I am really questioning the need for tanked or reservoir storage for sprinkler systems on apartment complexes, when a public water source is available. Talk me through the rationale. Is Mr. Keeley aware of the cost involved in that?
