The manufacturer's identifying classification and data on the refrigeration unit shall also be included on the application.

   (b)    The Building Official shall secure an approval from the Superintendent of the Water Division where water is used in the cooling system, and shall not issue permits for the same if, in the opinion of the Superintendent, an excessive amount of water is being used and if the methods of cooling in order to conserve water are not sufficient and he, for the above reasons, should decline to approve the installation.
