RE: Non-Aspirating Sprinklers listed with specific foam?

RE: WATER STORAGE TANK AND PUMPS ARRANGEMENT FOR FIRE AND SERVICE WATER

Are you installing very big tank that feeds water to the underground pipe which goes to all of the 20 buildings AND putting in some kind of water storage tank inside each building? Are you planning one pump house to serve the whole park or will each building have their own pumps? Craig L. Pra
