CODE REQUIREMENTS
WATER
1. Based on the review of project information submitted for the pre-application meeting,
Renton Regional Fire Authority has determined that the preliminary fire flow demand for
the proposed development is 1,500 gpm including the use of an automatic fire sprinkler
system. The following developer’s installed water main improvements will be required to
provide domestic and fire protection service to the development including but not limited
to:
a. Installation of a fire sprinkler stub a with a double check detector assembly
(DCDA) for backflow prevention to each building. The fire sprinkler stub and
related piping shall be done by a registered fire sprinkler
designer/contractor. The DCDA shall be installed on the private property in an
outside underground vault per City standard plan no. 360.2. The DCDA may be
installed inside the building if it meets the conditions as shown on City’s standard
plan 360.5 for the installation of a DCDA inside a building. The location of the
DCDA inside the building must be pre-approved by the City Plan Reviewer and
Water Utility.
b. The “Site and Composite Utility Plan” submitted with the Land Use Application
indicated that the 4-inch water stub for the fire sprinkler system will be provided
as part of the water main improvements to be constructed by the adjacent
development to the south known as the Weatherly Inn Renton. As such, the fire
sprinkler system for the new addition to the building cannot be operational until
the water mains improvements for the adjacent development are constructed
and are operational. A temporary and/or final certificate of occupancy cannot be
given until the fire sprinkler system is operational.
c. Where the 4-inch water stub passes under the proposed retaining wall, the
water pipe shall be installed in a steel casing that extends a minimum of 5 feet
past each edge of the retaining wall.
d. Installation of off-site and on-site fire hydrants. The location and number of
hydrants will be determined by the Fire Authority based on the final fire flow
demand and final site plan. A hydrant is required within 50 feet of the building’s
fire sprinkler system fire department connection (FDC).
e. The domestic water meter shall have a double check valve assembly (DCVA)
installed behind on the meter on private property per City Standards. The DCVA
may be located inside the building if the location is approved by the City Plan
Reviewer and City Water Utility Department.
f. A 15-foot utility easement will be required for any water main and for related
appurtenances that are not located within the public right-of-way.
g. A minimum 10-foot setback is required from the building foundation to the
water main.
h. A pressure-reducing-valve (PRV) is required behind each water meter because the
water pressure is over 80 psi.
i. Installation of a “Storz” adapter on the existing hydrants, if they are not already
equipped with one.
