Hot Springs Resort Water System Revisions, designed by Ed Butts, 7/7/11). Thus pipe used for other than fire protection is entirely separate from fire-service pipes, as required by Chapter 14.7.2.1 of NFPA 22, 2008 Edition. We view this design as an adequate and reliable water supply, sufficient every day of the year to control and extinguish a fife in the Lodge. This system differs from NFPA 22 requirements because it uses a high cell wall to insure there is adequate water always available for the Lodge Fire Sprinkler System rather than a pipe extended to a specific elevation within the tank. There is a crossover valve located near the outlet pipe that can be opened if: 1) Maintenance is needed in Cell#2 2) A wildland fire/forest fire occurs at BHS property boundary The crossover valve allows BHS to direct the combined total of 184,726 gallons of water from Cells#1 and#2 as necessary to the Lodge Sprinkler pipe, OR to the domestic water system with spigots located throughout and along the boundaries of the Breitenbush property. These spigots can fill a fire tender truck or be used directly by hose for wildland fire suppression. This valve will normally be closed. This system element differs from NFPA 22 requirements because it allows a manual override in the rare case that the facility is facing a wildland fire or necessary ` maintenance must be performed on Cell#2. In the latter case, BHS will have the l`I capability to charge the Lodge sprinkler system with water from Cell#1. This dual tank design ultimately provides superior protection to the Lodge because, in a single tank design, necessary maintenance would require the tank to be empty for a period of time, leaving the Lodge vulnerable with no functioning sprinkler system. 1) Documentation on the size of the tank Reservoir Dimensions: 45'x45' O.D. w/12" walls (2 cells) 425(.21'x14' = 12,348 ft3 x 7.48 gal./ft3 =92,363 gallons per cell Total Storage Volume=92,363 gal. x 2= 184,726 gallons 2) Amount of water in tank compared to the sprinkler requirement The volume of water required to supply the Lodge sprinkler system, plus the outside hose allowance, is 50,733 gallons. BHS reservoir design sequesters 92,363 gallons for Lodge fire suppression, and the piping design delivers that volume of water directly from Cell #2 to the Lodge sprinkler supply pipe(see attached). Fire supply water in excess of the minimum required volume is automatically retained within Cell #2 for fire protection purposes. This design provides 44,000 gallons more water than the 50,733 gallons required for Lodge fire protection.
