PRIVATE FIRELINE SERVICE 1. An Applicant is responsible for providing a Private Fireline Service and the associated design, installation, and testing of the private fire protection system on the Customer’s property in accordance with the Utility’s standards and the California Fire Code, as adopted by the City of Anaheim. 2. When an Applicant requests water system pressure and flow information from the Utility in connection with the design of a private fire protection system, the Utility will provide the most economical method that meets the Utility’s standards. Three potential options for information exist, and the appropriate source will be determined by the Utility, at its discretion, based on facts specific to the property. a. Field Test: A field test to determine available water pressure and flow information for design purposes consists of a physical test of the water system in the vicinity of the Customer’s property that is witnessed by a representative of the Utility. The Applicant will be invoiced on a work order basis for labor in excess of four hours, equipment and materials costs incurred by the Utility in inspecting and witnessing the field test. b. Preexisting Field Test: If a field fire flow test has been conducted within a period of six months prior to the Applicant’s request, and the water system pressure and flow information provided thereby is acceptable to the Utility as an accurate representation of the water system pressure and flow conditions in the vicinity of the Customer’s property, the information from the preexisting field test may be used by the Applicant. c. Utility Hydraulic Model: If the Water System in the area of the proposed Private Fireline Service connection has been hydraulically modeled by or at the direction of the Utility, and the pressure and flow information provided thereby is acceptable to the Utility as an accurate representation of the water system pressure and flow conditions in the vicinity of the Customer’s property, the hydraulic model information may be used by the Applicant.
