§ 34-126. Fire flow test fee.

Upon request, a fire flow test will be conducted by personnel of the system to provide flow data in support of any fire protection system located within the board's service area. An advance fee of fifty-nine dollars and sixty-seven cents ($59.67) shall be applicable for each fire flow test requested for purposes of obtaining fire flow data for a specific piece of property or building in order for the owner of the property or building to obtain insurance rating or coverage or to assist in the design and construction of an interior fire protection system. This fee amount is effective January 1, 2019. The fee amount shall be adjusted on January 1 of each year thereafter by the percentage difference (greater than zero) between the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) as it is calculated by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics at the end of the month of July prior to the next year and as it was calculated at the end of the month of July one year earlier. SAWS will periodically perform a cost of service analysis to ensure that the fee charged does not exceed the cost of providing the service.
