Joel,
You need to determine the fire protection sprinkler flow. Is 15,000 gallons
going be enough?
Then you need to discuss with the engineer who designed the original
domestic and understand how the domestic system works. How is the tank being
refilled during the day?
If the supply is going to be used for sprinkler demand then the water supply
cannot be drawn down below what is required for the sprinkler system.
