I would think a home owner would (eventually) prefer to OWN their fire sprinkler water supply John-- lock, stock, and barrel...

How much $$$$ ? Are owners on board having in their homes ? How does the cost effect the square foot estimates being cited ? Lets get some real world answers and costs.

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?
