There is a proposal in NFPA 25 to require water supply testing for sprinkler systems every 5 years. No trigger, like new, high-demand construction in the area or deterioration in the main drain test results -- just every 5 years run the test. This passed the committee on a vote of 24 to 5. Anybody out there doing water supply testing for existing systems when there is no indication of a deteriorated supply? Any owners asking for it? Sorry for the late heads-up. Comments on this, and all the rest of the 205 proposals, are due to NFPA by 5:00 p.m. EDT Friday. I will be up early to prep some comments myself.
