Can fire-fighting water supplied directly by the municipal water supply be used for other purposes?
Thread Content
Article 4.3.8 of the Technical Code for Fire Fighting Water Supply and Fire Hydrant Systems (GB50974-2014) stipulates that in pools where fire fighting water is shared with other types of water uses, measures must be taken to ensure that the amount of water available for fire fighting purposes is maintained. So, can fire fighting water supplied directly from municipal sources be used for other purposes? !
Personally, I think it’s possible. The text states that technical measures should be taken to ensure that fire-fighting water is not used for other purposes. As long as the amount of water available for firefighting meets the requirements at all times, it’s acceptable to use that water; you can’t guarantee that there will always be enough water for firefighting
In short, it’s about ensuring that fire-fighting water is not affected. I’m not quite sure what is meant by fire-fighting water supplied directly from the municipal system The fire water tanks built collectively in your area?
As long as the municipal water supply exceeds the amount required for firefighting, using it for other purposes will not affect the water available for firefighting; therefore, the conclusion should be that it is feasible. If the total water supply is insufficient, it cannot be used for other purposes.
The way this question is phrased is imprecise. 1. According to Regulation 4.3.1, fire water tanks must be installed in projects that meet the requirements; this implies that projects that fail to meet any of these requirements do not need to have fire water tanks. 2. Based on the above analysis, Regulation 4.3.8 should be considered separately: 1) Since there is no pool at all, how can there be any measures to prevent it from being used for other purposes? The water volume should be rechecked to ensure it is sufficient; it is recommended to configure it in accordance with the requirements of Clause 4.2.2 of the codes. 2) If a pool is used, then measures can be taken on that pool; see page 25 of Atlas 15S909
