| 01/21/2021 | JPEELDA1 | FIRE | REVIEW | Denied | Your house is over 3,600 sq feet so you will need to have Tucson water perform a model for your house. We need two items met: 1) 1,750 gpm for 2 hours 2) a hydrant located within 400' of your house. I have copied Walid with Tucson Water. He can perform the model and send the letter. If the two conditions are met, you will be good to go and I can approve your plans. If they are not met, then you will need to add fire sprinklers to your house. Please contact me if you have any questions. |
