FOREWORD

Over the past thirty years, selected municipal water authorities have implemented strategies,
including stand by fees and other policies, to recover costs for water consumed in fires in
sprinklered buildings. Typically these fees are not directly related to sprinkler fire flows but
rather are recognition of the fact that these flows are not metered and thus not accounted for
in conventional water cost recovery mechanisms. In contrast, water consumption at fires at
unsprinklered properties is typically not subject to fees nor metered at the hydrant. With the
growing adoption of residential sprinkler ordinances in communities across the country, the
National Fire Protection Association commissioned this study to assess the relative community
impacts of water consumption in sprinklered and unsprinklered properties.

The study considered standard estimates of the amount of water expected to be used in
various building types with and without automatic sprinkler protection during a fire condition
and also estimated the water used per year for commissioning, inspection, testing and
maintenance of buildings with systems for each building type. The total amount of water
anticipated to be used for fire protection was compared with fees in sample jurisdictions;
methods were developed to calculate fire water fees that are proportional to the anticipated
volume of fire water used.

I. Executive Summary
A study has been conducted to analyze the estimated total fire protection water used in various
building types. The study considered the water used in buildings with and without automatic
sprinkler protection during a fire condition and estimated the water used per year for
commissioning, inspection, testing and maintenance (CITM) of buildings with sprinkler systems.
The anticipated water used for fire protection was compared with fees in sample jurisdictions;
methods were developed to calculate fire water fees that are proportional to the anticipated
volume of fire water used.
The study provides a detailed analysis for calculating the fire water demand required in
sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings. This report shows that in all scenarios studied, the
calculated water used during a fire when a building has a sprinkler system is less than that of an
unsprinklered building. Additionally, the analysis indicates that in most of the scenarios studied
the fire water used during a fire in an unsprinklered building exceeds the total water used in an
otherwise similar sprinklered building for both CITM and a fire condition. These findings
conclude that an owner of an unsprinklered building receives the full benefit of unlimited water
through the public water system in a fire scenario without an increased cost, while the owner of
a sprinklered building pays for the water used for CITM and a means that will reduce the
amount of water required from private water system during a fire condition. In both cases, the
cost of the water is typically not differentiated between sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings
regardless of the reduction.
Guidance on the volume of water is provided by the International Code Council (ICC)[1], various
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes and standards[2][3], and Insurance Services
Office (ISO) guidelines[4]. These documents define the required fire flow and duration based on
the construction type, use or occupancy, and area of a building.
The anticipated fire water usage has been compared with the current fire water fees in six
sample jurisdictions. The sample jurisdictions were selected based on populations, range of
building types, and fee structures.
Surveys were conducted to determine the fee structure in each of the sample jurisdictions.
Methods used to charge for fire water included: direct usage charge at a fixed rate based on
metering, direct usage charge at a rate that varies by season based on metering, fixed tap fee,
initial capacity charge based on water line size, and monthly capacity charge based on water
line size. Two of the sample jurisdictions included a discount for the installation of a sprinkler
system. One of the sample jurisdictions permitted sprinkler systems with less than 20 sprinklers
to be connected to domestic water lines without additional charges and the other allowed a
reduction in the capacity charge to one fifth the normal capacity charge rate.

A characteristic set of buildings were developed to compare fire flow water consumption and fire
flow fees in each of the sample jurisdictions. The characteristic set of buildings included each of
the following building types:
Residential, One- and Two- Family Dwelling
Residential, Up to and Including Four Stories in Height
Business
Assembly
Institutional
Mercantile
Storage
The fire flows for each of the building types was calculated based on the IFC[1], NFPA 1[2],
NFPA 13[3], NFPA 13D [5], NFPA 13R [6] and ISO[4] guidelines. The IFC and NFPA 1 include
fire flow requirements for both sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings. The required fire flow for
a building protected with a sprinkler system is typically permitted to be reduced by 50% for one-
and two-family dwellings and 75% for buildings other than one- and two-family dwellings.
Available studies of fire water usage in sprinklered and unsprinklered residential buildings show
the volume of water to be conservative and indicate a reduction of water used in a sprinklered
home to be approximately 90% less than that of an unsprinklered home.
The volume of water required for all of the various building types studied ranged from 60,000 to
585,000 gallons for unsprinklered buildings and from 30,000 to 480,000 gallons for sprinklered
buildings when calculated according to the IFC and NFPA 1. With some exceptions, the ISO
guidelines typically require less water than NFPA 1 or the IFC for unsprinklered buildings. The
ISO guidelines indicate that a minimum fire water volume of 500 gpm for 2 hrs or the volumes
required by NFPA 13 whichever is greater.
For light-hazard occupancies, such as residential, business, assembly and institutional, the
volume of water required by NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, or NFPA 13D, as applicable, was in the
range of 182 to 7,500 gallons, which was significantly less than the volume required by the IFC
or NFPA 1 for a sprinklered building. In some instances for occupancies with a greater hazard
classification, such as mercantile and storage, the volume of fire water required by NFPA 13
was greater than the volume required by IFC and NFPA 1.

The installation of automatic sprinkler systems has the potential to significantly reduce the
amount of water needed during a fire condition. Automatic sprinkler systems, however, require
water for commissioning, inspection, testing, and maintenance (CITM) that would not be
required for a building without an automatic sprinkler system. The water required for CITM was
estimated for each of the characteristic building types. Over a hundred year period the volume
of water required per year for CITM ranged from a low of approximately 14 gallons for a one-
and two-family dwelling to a high of more than 94,000 gallons for a covered mall.
The total anticipated fire water used per year was calculated for each of the characteristic
building types based on the required volume of fire water, the probability of a fire, and, for
sprinklered buildings, the average CITM. For instance, in a typical one- and two-family dwelling,
the fire water used for sprinklered buildings is between 4 and 10% of the fire water used for
unsprinklered buildings. Sprinklered apartment buildings used approximately 30% of the fire
water used by unsprinklered apartment buildings. The water savings can be seen in several of
the building types.
The fees passed to the end user can be categorized into two basic categories: those fees
related to construction costs and those fees related to the cost of the commodity. This report
concentrated on the fees related to the cost of the commodity. However, both could be
accounted for with slight modifications. The fees related to construction costs would be inclusive
of but not limited to tapping fees and installation fees. Likewise, the fees associated with the
commodity would be billed monthly, or billed as a one-time commodity charge, or capacity
charge.
To adequately relate a fee for sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings, the current fee structure
was calculated for sprinklered buildings and redistributed to sprinklered and unsprinklered
buildings based on the estimated quantity of fire water used for each.
The amount of water used in sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings was identified by:
The volume of water required by IFC, NFPA 1, ISO, NFPA 13, NFPA 13R and NFPA
13D for sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings.
The quantity of water based on the probability of a fire by the total number of buildings in
each of the occupancies.
The estimated volume of water used in sprinklered buildings during CITM.
Fees relating to construction cost were not included since they have no direct relationship with
the quantity of water to be used by the connection. Further, the fees associated with standpipes
in non-sprinklered buildings were also not considered since the intent of this study was to
110311.06.000

compare the fire protection water used in sprinklered and non-sprinklered buildings. As such,
non-sprinklered buildings have been assumed to be completely unprotected. The total fee
structure for water in each of the jurisdictions has been assessed per the number of sprinklered
buildings in each of the occupancies.

Figure 1. Fire Water Required in Gallons for Sprinklered and Unsprinklered Buildings
=Sprinklered =Unsprinklered
The compiled graph in Figure 1 indicates that unsprinklered buildings use more water than
sprinklered building when comparing a single building.
The volume of water required in one and two family dwellings is negligible when compared to
other buildings within a community.
The Water Research Foundation documents that the daily indoor per capita water use is
approximately 69.5 gallons. [7] The average CITM for a sprinklered house per year varies from

14 to 28 gallons per year. The analogy illustrates how little water is used to maintain a
residential sprinkler system.
In all cases, the volume of water required for a sprinklered building vs an unsprinklered building
when comparing a single building is calculated to be less, based on the assumptions made. In
most cases the total water required for CITM in a community with sprinklered buildings will be
less than that required during a fire scenario for unsprinklered buildings.
Factors specific to a building type or low water pressures in a community may also impact fire
water usage. When pressures supplied by a purveyor are low, the amount of water required by
a fire protection system could be increased by the following factors:
Low pressures may require larger pipe sizes to reduce pressure losses, which increase
the volume of the systems and therefore the amount of water used in commissioning,
testing and flushing.
Increased number of fire pumps which increases the volume of water used in CITM.
Fire water usage may also be influenced by the following factors based on building type:
Local codes that required additional safety factors beyond those prescribed in NFPA 13.
Malls require multiple tenants and have many systems to account for CITM.
Large warehouses have many sprinkler systems and private fire service mains that
require additional CITM. Some warehouses are governed by insuring authorities and
require multiple sources (i.e. tanks or reservoirs)
High rise building where multiple standpipe systems are required in conjunction with fire
pumps.
High rises that have no sprinkler systems, however are fitted with automatic standpipe
systems.
Fire protection systems can be very complex, as such; each building should be assessed
appropriately. The commodity of water is being sold to the end user. By virtue of this study, the
only time water is used, is during a fire or during CITM. Therefore, if both are accounted for by
volume, and fire service departments will use the water regardless of whether a building is
protected by a sprinkler system or not, then the water used should be distributed to both
buildings and not borne by the owner that provides a means for reducing the water used.

As stated before, fire water fees should be associated with those buildings that use the water for
fire protection (This would include all buildings). As shown in the report, it would be appropriate
to distribute the fees between both sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings.
The fee structure drafted for each community could differ; however, the basic concept is to
charge fees for fire water that are proportional to the anticipated fire water used based on
building type and the presence of a fire sprinkler system. This report provides an estimate of
fire water used for both fire conditions, including CITM, to allow communities to develop fire
water fees for both sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings that are proportional to the
anticipated fire water usage.

II. Introduction
Water used by fire protection systems is typically provided by a local purveyor. The local
purveyor distributes water for use in residential, commercial and industrial buildings through
delivery systems that usually include elevated gravity tanks, ground storage tanks and pumping
systems, or a combination of both. Water is provided to the end user for a fee charged by the
local purveyor.
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), [8] an estimated 410 billion gallons
of water per day (Bgal/d) where used in the United States based on data from 2005. Of that,
the leading users were thermo-electric power generation and irrigation. Public use was
estimated at 44.2 Bgal/d, approximately 13% of all fresh water used in a day, and 21% of all
freshwater used excluding thermo-electric power generation. The amount of water used by the
public increased from 2000 to 2005 by 2%, while the population increased by more the 5%.
Water used for fire protection is a fraction of the overall public use of water. While fire
protection systems have an impact on water use, this study is provided to help water purveyors
and others evaluate water usage for fire protection and provides perspective on the amount of
water used for fire protection compared with other uses.
Fire water flow requirements for buildings in the United States are typically based on model
codes and standards published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) or
International Code Council (ICC) as well as guidance from the Insurance Services Office (ISO).
The information contained in this report is based on the required fire flow from the following
documents:
NFPA 1, Fire Code, 2009 Edition
ICC, International Fire Code (IFC), 2012 Edition
ISO, Guide for Determination of Needed Fire Flow, 2008 Edition
NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, 2010 Edition
NFPA 13D, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two-Family
Dwellings and Manufactured Homes, 2010 Edition
NFPA 13R, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in Residential
Occupancies up to and including Four Stories in Height, 2010 Edition
NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire
Protection Systems, 2011 Edition

Actual water used for fire protection will differ due to many variables including: pressure, system
design, fire department use and response time.
A. Background
Over the past thirty years, selected municipal water authorities have implemented strategies,
including stand-by fees and other policies, to recover costs for water consumed in fires in
sprinklered buildings. It is also used to fund maintenance of the distribution system, tanks,
pumps and pipes necessary to get these higher than normal demands to the needed location.
Typically these fees are not directly related to sprinkler flows but rather are in recognition of the
fact that these flows may not be metered and thus not accounted for in conventional water cost
recovery mechanisms. In contrast, water consumed at fires at unsprinklered properties is
typically not subject to fees nor metered at the hydrant. With the growing adoption of residential
sprinkler ordinances in communities across the country, it is appropriate to assess the relative
community impacts of water consumption in sprinklered and unsprinklered properties.
B. Research Objective
To assess the current prevalence and structure of fire flow fees against the community
impact/water usage at sprinklered and unsprinklered properties to develop a consumption-
based rational for community fire fighting resources.
C. Tasks
The following set of tasks is provided as a guide to help evaluate the use of water in fire
protection systems.
1. Selection of at least six (6) case study communities that traditionally have had fire flow
fees, with a predetermined mix of building occupancies including residential, commercial
and industrial.
2. Assessment of the fire flow fee structure in these communities as well as other nationally
available information.
3. Select a characteristic set of both sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings within each
community deemed to be representative of the building stock including residential,
commercial and industrial.
4. Calculation of fire flow for sprinkler systems in these buildings as well as additional water
consumption associated with sprinkler maintenance and testing.
5. Review previous documented literature to help make an assessment of water
consumption for unsprinklered buildings in the case study communities.

6. Provide a rational basis for the assessment of fire flow fees for sprinklered and
unsprinklered building in the selected communities.

larger ones, water is provided through multiple water departments; in those cases, only one
water department for each community was researched for this report.
The six example communities were selected to represent a variety of water fee structures. The
following features were represented in the water fee structures of the candidate communities:
A fee structure designed to accommodate drought conditions;
A simple fee structure based on a fixed cost per water connection; and
A fee structure based on metering of water usage for fire protection systems.
Additional information on connection and tapping fees was reviewed for each candidate
community. The concept of providing a credit to buildings protected with fire sprinkler systems
was considered based on the premise that buildings protected with sprinkler systems would use
less water in the event of a fire condition than fire department suppression efforts in a building
not protected with sprinkler systems. However, this concept does not appear to be considered
in the fee structures of most water purveyors.
All of the communities interviewed charge a fee for water service to fire sprinkler systems in
commercial buildings. However, some communities do not charge an additional fee for water
service to fire sprinkler systems in one- and two-family dwellings. Fire sprinkler systems
protecting one- and two-family dwelling usually require only a small water service. This allows
water service for fire sprinkler systems in one- and two-family dwellings to be provided by the
normal domestic water line in some communities, which then charge for water usage at the
normal domestic water rates without additional fees for fire sprinkler systems. Data from the
selected communities is provided in Appendix A.
D. Summary
Based on the methodology outlined above, the following six example communities were
selected for further analysis:

IV. Assessment of Fire Flow Fees
All sixteen candidate communities were contacted to determine how fees are generated for the
use of water in fire protection systems. This section provides information gathered from the six
example communities selected for further analysis.
Representatives of the water purveyors for each of the candidate communities were interviewed
by phone and asked the following set of five questions:
Question No. 1 Is there a meter charge for fire water service?
Question No. 2 Does the city have any drought conditions that would affect the cost of
water used in fire protection systems?
Question No. 3 Do you have any incentives in place when a fire sprinkler system is
provided?
Question No. 4 Is there an additional charge for water used in unprotected (by fire
sprinkler systems) buildings?
Question No. 5 Is the there a fire district fee?
The following is the evaluation of each of the six (6) water purveyors and how they collect fees
for water used in fire protection systems:
A. Johnstown, OH [11]
Answer Same as Domestic water rates see Table 3.
Answer No changes in fee due to drought conditions.
provided?
Answer When a separate fire protection line is tapped the fee is 1/5 of the
capacity charge.
Question No. 4 Is there an additional charge for water used in unprotected buildings?

*One-fifth the capacity charge will be charged if for fire protection only.
Both the capacity charge and the tap fee are onetime fees and are independent of metered
water rates. The water purveyor discounts the capacity charge when the water service is fire
protection only, but still charges fees for water services for fire sprinkler systems that would not
be charged for buildings without sprinkler systems.
B. St. Charles, MO [12]
Answer Fire service is not metered.

A water main tap without a meter is $2,000 in addition to the tap fee based on the size of the
connection. No additional fee is charged for a fire sprinkler system with less than twenty (20)
sprinklers that are tapped off of a domestic water line. There are no monthly fees for a fire
water line, but buildings with a water line supplying a fire sprinkler system are charged initial
connection fees that would not be charged to for buildings without sprinkler systems.
C. Orlando, FL [13]
Answer Yes, in addition to the monthly charge, if any water is used, it is charged
at $1.54 per kilo gallon.

Question No. 3 Do you have any incentives in place when a fire sprinkler system is provided?
Rochester, NY has two water mains available for use in fire protection. The first main provides
fire protection through the domestic fire service. The second main is called a Holly-High
Pressure System. The fees billed depend on which system is used. Charges for the domestic
fire service system and the Holly High-Pressure System are outlined in Table 7. Metered
water consumption is also billed monthly and is summarized in Table 8.

F. Los Angeles City, CA [16]
Answer Yes, water is metered & billed monthly.
Answer Los Angeles, CA, the city does not have a drought rate vs. a normal rate.
However, there is a fee billed for High Season and Low Season water
use.
Question No. 3 Do you have any incentives in place when a fire sprinkler system is provided?
Buildings in Los Angeles are charged a monthly fee based on the size of the incoming fire
service line, as outlined in Table 10, in addition to a metered water rate. The metered water
rate is billed depending on the location of the building (low, medium, or high Temperature Zone)
and the month that the water is used (low season versus high season). Additionally, water is
charged at a First Tier rate, Table 11, and a Second Tier rate, Table 12. Normal fees are
billed on the First Tier Rate up to a set volume of water. The threshold is dependent upon the
area and the location (low, medium, or high Temperature Zone) of the building. Once the
maximum is exceeded the fees are billed at the Second Tier Rate.

V. Characteristic Set of Buildings
A characteristic set of buildings was developed to compare the fire water consumption for each
building type. Fire water consumption was also compared between sprinklered and
unsprinklered buildings. Features of the characteristic set of buildings were identified to allow
the required fire flow to be calculated based on the requirements of the codes, standards, and
guide listed below:
NFPA 1, Fire Code, 2009 Edition
ICC, International Building Code (IBC), 2012 Edition
ICC, International Fire Code (IFC), 2012 Edition
ISO, Guide for Determination of Needed Fire Flow, 2008 Edition
NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, 2010 Edition
NFPA 13D, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two-Family
Dwellings and Manufactured Homes, 2010 Edition
NFPA 13R, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in Residential
Occupancies up to and including Four Stories in Height, 2010 Edition
NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire
Protection Systems, 2011 Edition
The characteristic set of buildings included each of the following building types:
Residential, One- and Two- Family Dwelling
Residential, Up to and Including Four Stories in Height
Business
Assembly
Institutional
Mercantile
Storage
110311.06.000
February 10, 2012


Each of the occupancies listed will vary in footprint and fire flow requirements, with or without
fire sprinklers. It is evident that the there are hundreds of combinations for building occupancies.
It would be difficult to identify all sets of buildings in every jurisdiction.
Having identified a set of building occupancies, the model codes were researched to distinguish
a building that can be provided with or without sprinklers. The building sets were associated by
construction type, area limitation, occupancy and whether protected or unprotected.
It should be noted that not all buildings listed in this report may be designed without sprinkler
protection. Buildings that require sprinklers are noted based on code requirements.
A. Residential Buildings, One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured
Homes (NFPA 13D)
Residential buildings have become a hot topic since all model codes now require residential
occupancies to be provided with fire protection. However, not all jurisdictions have adopted the
code revisions. The code requirements and building size are listed in Table 13.

Since these buildings are not limited in size based on the fire protection requirements, we have
selected two building footprints for this category. The significance of having two buildings of
different size is to identify that there are different flow requirements for each building that will be
identified later.

B. Residential Buildings, Residential Occupancies Up to and Including Four
Stories in Height (NFPA 13R)
Apartment buildings are another form of residential buildings. However, these buildings are
required to follow the same guidelines for inspection, testing and maintenance as commercial
buildings. It will be important to understand the additional flow due to inspection, testing and
maintenance requirements. For this study there will be three different building types identified in
Tables 14, 15 and 16.

There were two different sizes of each apartment building that could be used for each of the
different construction classifications. One size is for an unsprinklered building and the other is
for a sprinklered building. To compare the amount of water used in a sprinklered vs.
unsprinklered building, the building size will need to be consistent between the two; therefore,
the buildings that are used for this occupancy will be as follows:
Apartment Building 1 7,000 sf
C. Business Buildings
For business buildings there are two (2) buildings evaluated. One is a low rise and the other is
a high rise. The high rise building technically could not be built without sprinkler protection.
However, it is important to show how much water is used in a high rise building with special fire
protection requirements such as standpipes and fire pumps. Tables 17 and 18 identify the
building type and maximum sf allowances for this building type.

For low rise business buildings there are two maximum size buildings allowed with or without
sprinklers. Maintaining consistency between the two; only one size building will be used to fit
both applications. For the high rise building application only one size building will be applied
over a 10-story building. Each floor will be provided with automatic sprinkler systems and
standpipes, designed in accordance with the given standards. The buildings are identified as
follows:
Business Building, Low Rise 23,000 sf
Business Building, High Rise 10 Floors, 40,000 sf/floor
D. Assembly Buildings
As with the business buildings there are two (2) assembly buildings for much of the same
reasons, one is a low rise and the other is a high rise. Assembly buildings are buildings used
for the gathering of persons for purposes such as civic, social, religious functions; recreation,
food, or drink consumption or awaiting transportation[17]. Tables 19 and 20 identify the building
type and maximum area allowances for this building type.

identified for a low rise and a high rise are:
Assembly Building, Low Rise 8,500 sf
Assembly Building, High Rise 10 Floors, 50,000 sf/floor
E. Institutional Buildings
Staying within the same parameters for Business and Assembly Occupancies, two (2)
Institutional Buildings are identified. Tables 21 and 22 distinguish the building type and
maximum sf allowances for this building type.

Institutional Building, High Rise 10 Floors, 60,000 sf/floor
F. Mercantile Buildings
There are many different types of mercantile buildings that vary from small boutiques, big box
retailers and large malls. This report identifies two (2) building types yet will have three (3)
mercantile buildings included. The three (3) buildings will have three very different fire
protection systems designed for each. This will provide insight that not all buildings of the same
size will have the same flow requirements.
The first building is a Mall; this building would not be allowed to be built without a sprinkler
system. Table 23 provides information regarding the building type and construction for the
covered mall.

Mercantile Building 2, HPS 12,500 sf
G. Storage Buildings
Storage facilities can vary widely in size, shape and commodities being stored. Two (2) facilities
are modeled within this report. One that can be provided with and without sprinklers under
specified conditions and another that will require sprinklers, such as a distribution type
warehouse. Table 25 identifies the code requirements used for the smaller of the two facilities.

H. Summary
Many building types and areas were defined in this section to help identify the Needed Fire Flow
(NFF) requirements from the model building codes. This information is critical in providing
continuity to both sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings for each. Additional buildings were
added to this section that will demonstrate how much water is used in a sprinklered building with
special fire protection requirements such as standpipes and fire pumps. It should be noted that
this set of buildings, only provides information for use in this report, and should not be used to
define the building characteristics in any jurisdiction. Table 27 provides a summary of all the
characteristic set of buildings to be used for identifying flow requirements for sprinklered vs.
unsprinklered buildings in this project.

VI. Calculation of Fire Water Volume
Calculation of required fire flows and volume for the model building codes for sprinklered and
unsprinklered buildings is derived from IFC, Appendix B and NFPA 1, Section 18.4. Calculated
fire flows for unsprinklered and sprinklered buildings are also derived from NFF through ISO and
design densities or minimum sprinkler flows and volume required for sprinkler systems designed
per NFPA 13, NFPA 13R and NFPA 13D. The volume of fire protection water is provided
through a series of calculated flows (gpm) for a minimum duration (min) with detail shown in
Appendix B.

*ISO requirements are derived from NFPA 13 Design Criteria when the minimums are exceeded
Each of the Building Codes, Standards and ISO requirements were used to determine the
correct flow, and take full advantage of any reductions of water allowed for the design of the
systems.
The calculated fire flows for each of the building types is listed in Table 28, and reflects only the
water required for a fire scenario in total gallons. All commissioning, inspecting, testing and
maintenance, requirements are not provided in these calculations and shall be addresses in the
next section. Detailed calculations used for the derivation of the calculated flows are provided
for reference in Appendix B.

VII. Calculation of Water Usage for Commissioning, Inspection,
Testing, and Maintenance
Flow from fire protection systems for commissioning, inspection, testing and maintenance
(CITM) are calculated for each building used in the study. The flows were derived for each
phase and added to Table 29 for reference.
A. Commissioning
Flushing the mains if required per NFPA 13
Filling the system a minimum 3 times before turning the system over to the client.
o 1rst time fill to check for leaks
o 2nd time to fix any leaks
o 3rd time to hydrostatically test the system.
Provide a single flow test per NFPA 13
Provide flow testing for a fire pump test if required
Flow standpipes if required
B. Inspection
No Flows Required

C. Testing
Flow switch test (twice a year)
Backflow prevention test
Pump Test
Hydrant Test
Standpipe Test (every 5 years)
D. Maintenance
Obstruction investigation (every 5 years)

February 10, 2012


o Drain and fill the system
The calculated volumes in Table 29 indicate the volumes of water required for years one, five
and the average gallons used per year over a one hundred year period. This assumes the
system will not be remodeled or that any additional repairs to the system are required. Each
time a system is drained, it is required to be filled again which will add to the total flows.
It should be noted that flow switches are not required per NFPA 13D. Additionally, NFPA 13D
systems are not bound by the requirements of NFPA 25. However, the volume of water for a
single flow test once a year is included in the calculation. Appendix C contains the calculated
volumes of water for Table 29.

VIII. Fire Probability and Frequency
U.S. Census Bureau building data and NFPA fire data was used to determine fire probability
and fire frequency per occupancy for each jurisdiction surveyed.
A. U.S. Census Bureau
The total number of buildings in the United States, per occupancy, was obtained from census
data, which originates from tax return information supplied from the Internal Revenue Service.
This census data was compiled and categorized into seven occupancies as summarized in
Table 30.
Table 30 - Number of Buildings in the United States [20][21]
Occupancy Number of Buildings
Residential, 1 & 2 family homes 76,313,410
Residential, Apartment homes 30,549390
Business 13,649,410
Assembly 1,980,406
Institutional 1,863,430
Mercantile 2,183,678
Storage 1,300,715

The source data used to obtain the above information can be found in Appendix D of this
analysis.
B. NFPA Structure Fires by Occupancy
The NFPA report, Structure Fires by Occupancy, was referenced to determine the total number
of fires per occupancy. [22] This report provides an estimation of the average number of fires,
per year, for incidents reported to local U.S. fire departments during 2004-2008. This data was
compiled and categorized into seven occupancies as summarized in Table 31.
110311.06.000
February 10, 2012


Table 31 - Average Number of Fires per Year [22]
Occupancy Number of Fires
Residential, 1 & 2 family homes 264,530
Residential, Apartment homes 109,360
Business 6,705
Assembly 21,870
Institutional 7,300
Mercantile 12,895
Storage 31,510

The source data used to obtain the above information can be found in Appendix D of this
analysis.
C. Determining Fire Probability and Fire Frequency per Occupancy
Fire Probability per Year
Fire Probability describes the relative possibility that a fire will occur in any given occupancy.
Fire Probability per occupancy was determined by comparing the total building data obtained
from the U.S. Census Bureau and NFPA fire data.
For each occupancy, the average number of fires per year has been divided by the total number
of buildings to determine the probability a fire will occur in that occupancy. For example, there
are approximately 6,705 reported fires in Business occupancies each year. Dividing that
number by the total number of Business buildings (13,649,410) results in probability of 0.05%.
Therefore, a fire will occur in approximately 0.05% of all Business buildings each year.
Table 32 below depicts this fire probability calculation for each occupancy surveyed:
Table 32 - Fire Probability per Occupancy
Residential, 1 & 2 family homes 0.35%
Residential, Apartment homes 0.36%
Business 0.05%
Assembly 1.10%
Institutional 0.39%
Mercantile 0.59%
Storage 2.42%
Occupancy Fire Probability
110311.06.000
February 10, 2012


Fire Frequency
Fire Frequency describes the rate of occurrence (per year) that a fire could be expected per
building for each occupancy. Similar to Fire Probability, Fire Frequency per occupancy was
determined by comparing the total building data obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau and the
NFPA fire data.
For each occupancy, the total number of buildings has been divided by the average number of
fires per year to determine the frequency a fire will occur in that occupancy. For example, there
are approximately 13,649,410 Business buildings in the United States. Dividing that number by
the average number of fires in Business occupancies each year results in a frequency of
approximately 2,036 years. Therefore, every Business building will experience a fire
approximately every 2,036 years.
The table below depicts this fire frequency calculation for each occupancy surveyed:
Table 33 - Fire Frequency per Occupancy
Occupancy Fire Frequency (years)
Residential, 1 & 2 family homes 288
Residential, Apartment homes 279
Business 2,036
Assembly 91
Institutional 255
Mercantile 169
Storage 41

D. Number of Fires per Occupancy in each Jurisdiction
Fire Probability, as determined in Section C above, has been applied to each jurisdiction to
approximate the number of buildings which will experience a fire each year. For example, the
probability that a fire will occur in a Business building is 0.05%. There are approximately 4,082
Business buildings in Orlando Florida, therefore it is expected that a fire will occur in 3 Business
buildings per year in Orlando.
Table 34 below depicts the fire probability calculation, per occupancy, for each jurisdiction
surveyed per year.

IX. Compiled Data (Probability and Volume)
All data collected for probability, the number of building in each jurisdiction by occupancy, as
well as the data calculated for fire flows and CITM are compiled into tables and are provided in
Appendix E for reference. Each table represents a comparison of data as follows:
IFC Unsprinklered vs IFC Sprinklered
NFPA 1 Unsprinklered vs NFPA 1 Sprinklered
ISO Unsprinklered vs NFPA 13, 13R, 13D Sprinklered
IFC Unsprinklered vs NFPA 13, 13R, 13D Sprinklered
NFPA 1 Unsprinklered vs NFPA 13, 13R, 13D Sprinklered
Two additional tables were provided in the One- and Two-family Dwellings that include Actual
data collected in the Utiskul and Wu report[23] and the Bucks County Report[24].
Utiskul and Wu report Unsprinklered vs NFPA 13D Sprinklered
Utiskul and Wu report Unsprinklered vs Bucks County, PA Report Sprinklered
The data was evaluated based on the flows required for each of the occupancies in each of the
model building codes.
Required Fire Volume Unsprinklered Buildings:
Almost all IFC and NFPA 1 occupancies require the same volume of water for unsprinklered
buildings with the exception of the example for One- and Two-Family Dwellings 2. The ISO
process requires less water than either of the codes for unsprinklered buildings. With the
exception of the one example, it should be noted that both the IFC and NFPA 1 are
interchangeable. Having stated that, the most conservative model building code, or the code
that requires the most water for an unsprinklered building, will be used to represent those flows
required for unsprinklered buildings.
Required Fire Volume Sprinklered Buildings:
NFPA 13, 13R and 13D provide additional requirements on the minimum flows required by
sprinkler systems to contain a fire. In all cases, the water required by NFPA 13, 13R, and 13D
is considerably less than that required by the model building codes for sprinklered buildings.
Additionally, the NFPA report U.S. Experience with Sprinklers provides fire sprinkler statistics
and indicates that typically only one or two sprinklers are required to control a fire. [25] The
110311.06.000
February 10, 2012


report details that 88% of reported fires involve one or two sprinklers. However, for this report,
the minimum volume of water to be used should be those volumes required by a recognized
standard. With this information, it was decided that the data evaluated for sprinklered buildings
will be projected through the use of the required volumes from NFPA 13, 13R & 13D based on
calculations and design densities.
Volume of Water Required
The water required for sprinklered buildings added to the water required for inspection testing
and maintenance is provided in Figure 2 for each of the occupancies. Likewise, the water
required for unsprinklered buildings is provided in Figure 3. These two graphs detail the water
required based on; probability, hazard, occupancy and construction type as discussed within
this report and will not apply to all building throughout all jurisdictions.

The last column in each of the tables represents the percent of water used if all building were
sprinklered over the water used if all buildings were unsprinklered. While theoretically this is not
possible, the idea details comparing the total water used if all buildings were sprinklered as
opposed to unsprinklered. In the case listed above, sprinklered buildings represent
approximately 7% of water used in unsprinklered buildings. For CITM the volume required
assumes all buildings in each jurisdiction are sprinklered.

It is interesting to identify that for Table 36 the percent of water used is at 124%. This would
indicate that at some point, sprinklered building vs unsprinklered buildings, the number of
buildings sprinklered will use more water per year than unsprinklered building based on the
CITM and the probability of a fire.

For business buildings the water required for fighting fires based on probability is significantly
less than that for unsprinklered buildings. However, when the water required for CITM is added,
the total water for sprinklered over unsprinklered buildings increases to 312%. This would
indicate that at some point, sprinklered building costs would be more than unsprinklered costs.
However, the fact remains that the total fees will still be distributed to both buildings.

Again, based on the data represented above, the sprinklered building will eventually use more
water per year based on CITM of the building than unsprinklered buildings by 289%. Therefore,
the fees for the sprinklered buildings will be more than the fees for the unsprinklered buildings at
some point.

Yearly Average:
The yearly average for volume of water was calculated per building type, per building, based on
the probability of a fire in the jurisdiction, for sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings. Then the
percent of water was calculated per building type for sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings in
Table 45 per the IFC and NFPA 13, 13D and 13R. It is interesting to note that the percent of
water used in almost all cases are less than 75%. Furthermore, the water used in one- and two-
family dwelling is less than 10%, while the water used in an apartment building might be less
than 30%.
The two anomalies over 100% can be accounted for in the volume of water used in a fire and
the number of buildings with recorded fires. For instance, the probability of a fire in a business
building is extremely low; hence the amount of water calculated by probability for an
unsprinklered building is low. However, the amount of water used per year in CITM is what
drives the higher percentage. When reviewing the water used in a fire condition, the percentage
is less than 2%. For the other anomaly in a high piled storage configuration, the water used in a
fire condition with a sprinkler system exceeds that of a fire condition without a sprinkler system.
In this instance, IFC, NFPA 1 and ISO do not account for the hazard within the building as a part
of the calculation.

X. Calculation of Fire Fees
As discussed throughout the report, fees related to the water used in fire protection systems are
typically based on the size of the fire service connection supplying the water to the building.
The cost to the end user is billed either at one time capacity charge connection fee, a flat
monthly fee, a metered water fee for a minimum volume of water or a combination of any of
those listed. Therefore, the current total fees a purveyor charges can be assessed by the size of
the mains installed to the site. The total fees currently collected by the purveyor will be
designated as C
T
. The fees that should not be included are; tapping fees, equipment fees or any
related labor associated with the installation of the fire protection mains. Those fees are
considered construction costs and are not related to the flows within the mains. C
T
will be
different for every jurisdiction. The cost of the current fee structure will provide a starting point
to distribute the cost among sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings.
In theory, the total cost of the new fee structure should equal the cost of the existing fee
structure per the equation below.
C
T
=C

+C

Where:
C

Total cost of existing fee structure

The above referenced fees are not directly proportionate. An added variable is provided to
directly relate the fees to the quantity of water distributed between sprinklered and unsprinklered
buildings.
The value of V
T
or the total volume of water required for a sprinklered and unsprinklered building
is provided. The volume of water was calculated previously in Section 6 for Sprinklered and
Unsprinklered buildings and Section VII for CITM. Subsequently, the total volume is defined by
the following equation.

Additionally, V

and V

can be further broken down into volumes of water in the equations

Where:

This is the equation that will be used to evaluate the fire fees in each of the jurisdictions. Slight
modifications will be necessary to adapt the information to the style of billing for fire fees per the
current fee structure in the jurisdiction. The equation above is slightly modified when the cost
per connection of an unsprinklered building exceeds the original cost of a sprinklered building.
To keep this from happening, a capped fee for the unsprinklered building was added at the
original fee charged for a sprinklered building. The fees for the sprinklered building are then
revised to account for the additional charges. This can be provided at the discretion of the
water purveyor. If not provided, once all but a few buildings are not protected, the fees for the
unsprinklered building become extremely high, in some cases, in the hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Therefore, the graph shows a cap on the unsprinklered building to keep the costs
manageable. As stated previously, this could be implemented at the water purveyors
discretion.
Johnstown, OH
Currently, J ohnstown, OH charges a tapping fee, Capacity Charge, and a metered charge for
the volume of water used. Tapping fees are a part of construction costs and therefore should
be paid by the user. The Capacity Charge is a onetime fee and based on the size of the line
entering the building. The Capacity Charge is directly related to the volume of water and should
be distributed between both sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings as such:

The monthly fees would also be directly related to a volume of water and would be distributed to
both sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings based on the number of buildings:
A set of graphs based on the number of buildings and fire fees for sprinklered and unsprinklered
fees can be found in Appendix F. The volume of water used to develop the graphs was derived
from IFC and NFPA 13, 13D, 13R and actual water data taken from the reports discussed.
St. Charles, MO
St Charles, MO charges a onetime fee for a water connection based on the size of the
connection. The fee is based on the volume of water delivered to the site. There are no
additional monthly fees for the use of the water. The fees for St Charles can be assessed as

Since no water is charged after the initial connection for CITM, the flat fee is the total fee per
building. A set of graphs based on the number of buildings and fire fees for sprinklered and
unsprinklered fees can be found in Appendix G. The volume of water used to develop the
graphs was derived from IFC and NFPA 13, 13D, 13R and actual water data taken from the
reports discussed.
Rochester, NY
Rochester, NY has two separate systems that provide fire services. There is a Domestic Fire
Service Charge and a Holly High-Pressure System. There is a monthly Service charge as well
as a Consumption Rate. New meter fee and Tapping fee are also assessed; however, these
fees are not a part of continuous fee for volume of water and are related to construction costs.
The fee for CITM can be provided through the consumption rate for each system. The fees for
Rochester, NY are assessed for both systems using the same equation below:

Orlando, FL
Orlando, FL has two separate rates that provide fire services. There is an Inside City Rate and
an Outside city rate. Both of the rates are assessed monthly. Additionally, there is a monthly
110311.06.000
February 10, 2012


Rate based on the kilo-gallons used during the month. There are no additional fees related to
construction costs. The fees for Orlando, FL are assessed for both systems using the same
equation below where the monthly fee can be assessed a minimum of twice a year for CITM:

Denver, CO
Denver, CO has a fixed monthly fee based on fire service size only. There are no additional fees
related to construction costs. The fees for Denver, CO are assessed using the equation below

LA City, CA
LA City, CA has a fixed monthly fee based on fire service size. There is also a monthly service
charge based on water used at a rate per HFC. The rates vary based on the size the service
and the season in which the service is provided. Additionally, if more than a specified amount
of water is used during the month, a second tier service amount is assessed. The equation
below identifies the assessed fees using the first tier rate. If the maximum gallons of water are
used by a fire protection system during CITM, then the fees for the second tier rate should only
be applied to the owner of the system and not distributed to unsprinklered buildings. No
additional construction fees are assessed. The volume of water for CITM should account for
minimum flow each month as a part of the equation:

Conclusion
As shown in each of the calculated data sheets and graphs generated in the appendices, the
fees for sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings are unique in how each of the jurisdictions
currently charges for water use. However, each of the jurisdictions can be adapted to use the
same basic equation as fees are re-distributed amongst sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings.

In all cases, when a building is provided with a fire protection system, the amount of water used
to fight the fire is less than that of buildings without a fire protection system when comparing a
single building.
The commodity of water is being sold to the end user. By virtue of this study, the only time
water is used, is during a fire or during CITM. Therefore, if both are accounted for by volume,
and fire service departments will use the water regardless of whether a building is protected by
a sprinkler system or not, then the water used should be distributed to both buildings and not
borne by the owner that provides a means for reducing the water used.

XI. American Water Works Association (AWWA)
American Water Works Association provides guidance on calculating fire protection fees
through their document Chapter IV.8 Rates for Fire Protection Service. [26] The document
provides useful information regarding: issues, history, defining public and private fire
protection and several means for calculating fire protection costs.
Basically there are two methods for calculating fire protection fees:
Base - extra capacity method
Commodity demand cost allocation
It is important to understand that AWWA recognizes that water used for fire protection should be
accounted for by the purveyor. However, each of the calculations presented do not provide a
means of allocating fees based on the potential water used to fight a fire when a building is
provided with a fire protection system.
This report is not intended to replace the means and methods of calculating the total water or
costs associated with fire protection water. The means for calculating total costs are still valid
and can be used to determine total fees. The equations within this report would be used to
supplement or further define the cost allocation when a sprinkler system is in place.
For instance, the example provided by AWWA, Table IV.8-3 Customer class fire flow demands
and unit cost Base extra capacity method (test year) below; represents the public fire service
cost allocation for the base-extra capacity method.

The total cost for residential fees can be calculated by taking the Total Fire Protection Cost and
multiplying it by the ratio of the number of Residential Equivalent Fire Service Demands by the
Total Inside City Equivalent Fire Service Demands:
$516,180.00 * (1,857,600 / 2,326,200) =$412,198.00
The information is then plugged into the equation provided in Section XI as Total Cost. The
information plugged into the spreadsheet in Appendix L to calculate the fee per customer is as
follows:
Total buildings 15,480
Probability 0.35%
Line Size 1
Fee Cap N/A
Fees Received Currently $412,199.00
Appendix L provides two examples of the calculation for a residential occupancy. The first
example shows the fees for sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings without a capped fee
associated with the unsprinklered building. The graphic illustration indicates that as the number
of sprinklered buildings increase, the price of the unsprinklered building increases. This stands
to reason since the amount of water used in an actual fire in a sprinklered building is 90% less
than an unsprinklered building. Since the total water produced has to be accounted for in the
fees identified by AWWA calculations, the fees for the water not used are shifted to the
unsprinklered buildings.
The second example provides an imaginary cap identified at $5.00 for an unsprinklered
property. When the cap is reached, the fees are then redistributed to the sprinklered buildings.
The model used in this exercise expands the results of the AWWA example providing an
avenue of differentiating between sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings. The same
calculations can be performed on private mains and added to both public and private fees.
