7. I have a Single-Family Dwelling and I plan to add two ADU’s and both new units require internal fire protection. How will I be allowed to serve fire protection to the site?

The Authority shall verify existing water service and meter is adequate to provide water demands due to the new units. If increased demands cannot be provide by the existing service and meter, the developer will be required to install a new service and meter to provide domestic water supply. Internal fire sprinklers, if required by the local fire jurisdiction, shall be supplied water by a dedicated water service.
