What's the purpose of these "local alarms" ?, to alert the dwelling unit occupants ? First and foremost is a fire alarm system required in this building in accordance with IBC 907 ? If so then a fire alarm system is required pursuant to IBC 907 and accordingly notification appliances in accordance with IBC 907.5. If this is a jurisdictional dwelling unit occupant notification requirement outside the model code consider my previous comment to interconnect the waterflow switch with the dwelling unit smoke alarms which already meet the prescribed notification requirements of the IBC and or IRC.
