A. Installation; Location; Number. Installation of fire hydrants shall be the responsibility of the subdivider.
The number and location of fire hydrants connected to a water supply capable of delivering the required fire flow shall be provided on the public right-of-way and/or on the site to be protected as determined by the fire chief. Standard hydrant spacing shall be at 300-foot intervals in all areas except areas containing only single-story single-family or duplex dwellings, in which case standard hydrant spacing shall be at 500-foot intervals.
When the fire chief determines that it would not be adverse to the city’s fire protection capabilities, the fire chief shall have the authority to make minor modifications to the hydrant placement distances set forth above. In no case shall fire hydrants be spaced closer than 300-foot intervals.
B. Hydrant Type. Approved fire hydrant models are the Long Beach Iron Works Model 614 and 615 or Clow Model 950 or 960. Other hydrant models may be utilized upon approval of the fire chief.
C. Method of Installation. The subdivider shall make all arrangements for the installation and inspection of all fire hydrants with the California Water Service Company.
