Every underground storage tank, within the City and being used for the storage of flammable and combustible liquids, shall be hydrostatically tested with circulation every three years for absence of leaks. Air testing of tanks with product inside is prohibited. The piping systems shall be air tested to withstand at least one hundred fifty percent (150%) of its anticipated pressures or 100 pounds psi, whichever is greater. If such testing reveals that any leaking conditions exist, the permit shall be revoked, and the Fire Chief shall order the owner or operator not to use such tanks or piping until the leaking condition is corrected. In the case where a dual occupancy may exist and there exists a leaking condition, all occupancies on the property shall cease operations until the conditions are corrected and tested. A statement of the test's validity shall be received by the Fire Division before reoccupancy by businesses. No hazardous or dangerous condition to persons or property shall exist.
