2) The fire mains for each building will need to be permitted separately as each underground is tied to their respective building. The way the BFP, fire mains, FDC’s and hydrant is laid-out in this plan set, two permits would be needed.
For example: The clubhouse could have the fire main and its underground including the hydrant and its FDC on one permit. The pool house could have its underground main and it’s FDC on the pool house’s FM permit.
Indicate on the plan set which section / portion of the fire main, FDC, Hydrant, etc. is for which permit.
