Pressure Tanks are an approved water supply. No city connection. No BFP. No fire pump. I can see "13D Pressure Tank" brochures and the $$/sf stabilizing and, over time, coming down.

Quoting John Drucker <[email protected]>:

EXACTLY, and the standby fees that are also being imposed.

Customers are looking at the BIG picture, aka the bottom line and when a SEPARATE fire service is required by the water purveyor and/or RPZ BACKFLOW preventers it all ADDS UP.

So just what is the TRUE cost, in some cases a lot more than the averages, means, estimates, etc etc, Welcome to my world.

Subject: Average cost for 13D systems

NFPARF published an estimate of average cost for a residential (one/two family) sprinkler system in 2009 in the run-up to the IRC vote that year. I think the number was $1.61; does anyone know if they or HFSC have published an updated cost estimate recently?
