Right.  'Round here, most stringent provisions have to do with wet vs.
dry - separating water/fire/sewer from gas and electrical.   Most (but
not all) utilities want to see at least a foot clear between fire
services and electrical.

Your local utility company? A "fire" main is nothing more than a water
main. They will have regs for separation of water mains from other
utilities.

Subject: Underground fire main seperation

Anyone know where I can find guidelines for seperating underground fire
main from other utilities, especially steam mains.  We've had problems
in the past with joints located too near steam mains having gasket
failures due to the prolonged elevated temperatures and we're looking
for more guidelines to hopefully avert this problem in the future.  I've
looked in all of the relevant standards I'm used to, but I think this
one may have more information outside of the "usual" sources.
