Steve, I'd note that there are many water purveyors requiring a split outside the home and a separate valve on the domestic so they'll shut off domestic service, not sprinkler, for non-payment. Inadvertently screwing the plumbers trying to do a multi-purpose, I can hardly sleep at night for the injustice. However, I combat that by inviting them to our residential sprinkler seminars since if they think they want in on it, they should know more, not less, and hopefully join the Association for all the ed benefits.

The paper describes some advantages of stand-alone systems over multipurpose systems and some situations in which multipurpose systems may not be appropriate. This document may be helpful to AHJs who are not aware of the differences between multi-purpose and stand-alone systems and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
