In 2002 edition (Texas still using this) 7.1.4 "Hydrants on private service mains shall not be equipped with pumper connections unless calculated demand for large hose is added to the attack hose and sprinkler system demands when determining the total demand of the fire protection water supply."
Just downloaded some of my 2010 standards yesterday and noticed the above requirement (7.1.4) (or anywhere else I can find), does not exist in 2010. In the past several years this has been a major issue between city services, building owners and fire protection types while considering the arrangement of the underground supplies, and has caused a lot of easements to be granted on private property. Is this no longer a consideration or has it just moved, to where?
