Update, Discussion, and Possible Action on Backflow Preventors on all Commercial Fire Sprinklers (Fire Sprinkler Systems/Class 1 and 2 and NFPA 13R):
Larry Litchfield stated that DSD and Fire Department Staff met to discuss code issues in regards to cross connection protection on sprinkler systems. He stated that in the 1970’s a state law was passed to require backflow prevention of connections to portable water systems. In 1994 the State Legislature amended the Fire Code portion of the state law to state that Class 1 and Class 2 sprinkler systems do not need any sort of back flow prevention.
Mr. Litchfield and staff are concerned with the sprinkler systems that were installed between 1994 through 1997. Meetings with the Law Department will be held to determine what needs to be done with the sprinkler systems that were installed, by law, but that may now be in violation of the water protection requirements.
