If a distribution main of adequate size to serve a private fire protection system in addition to all other normal service does not exist in the street or alley adjacent to the premises to be served, then a service main from the nearest existing main of adequate capacity will be installed by the city at the cost of the applicant. Such cost shall not be subject to refund.

Service under this chapter is for private fire protection systems to which no connections for other than fire protection purposes are allowed and which are regularly inspected by the underwriters having jurisdiction, are installed according to specifications of the city, and are maintained to the satisfaction of the city. The city may install the standard detector type meter approved by the Board of Fire Underwriters for protection against theft, leakage or waste of water. (Ord. 544 NCS §3; prior code §27.38.)
