I am a proponent of automatic. It generally allows smaller piping on the
floors from the pressure selected to produce the fire hose flows at the roof
and if installed tested and inspected properly is every bit as reliable as
any other piece of the equation (underground and interior pipe, valves,
etc).

Subject: manual vs automatic standpipes
I am looking at a project where the AHJ may potentially require an automatic
standpipe (fire pump) in a non high-rise building.(city water is adequate
for fire sprinkler system)
Is this fairly common/has anyone else come across it?
