§ 22-101. Temporary waiver for fireflow.

All central and/or community water systems shall be designed and constructed to meet the fireflow provisions and standards of this chapter. Where systems are unable to meet the source or storage requirements to deliver fireflow, the owners and/or developers may request that a temporary waiver of such requirements be granted based on available alternate forms of fireflow protection and the guarantee by the owner and/or developer and his or their assigns that such system shall connect to the county public water system when it is available within a distance of three hundred (300) linear feet as measured from the closest point of the property line of the structures and/or facilities, subdivision, and/or development to the edge of an easement or right-of-way including the public water distribution system. The owner and/or developer and his or their assigns shall provide an agreement with the county which shall be recorded to meet and provide for all requirements, policies, and standards of the county at the time of the connection of such central and/or community water system to the county public water system, including the provision and installation of fire hydrants and such other improvements as required by the county at the cost of the owner and/or developer. The owner and/or developer of the water system which is granted the temporary waiver may choose to connect to the county public system as a community system, or connect to obtain fireflow only, or may offer and/or negotiate to deed the water system to the county upon its connection to the county public water system.
