(A) When a subdivision is to be served by a central water system, fire hydrants are to be installed every 1,000 feet apart, or no further than 500 feet from the furthest point of any lot within the subdivision, where water line size will permit. In areas where line size of six inches or more is not available, then hydrants are not required. If the subdivider is installing six-inch lines, or better, then hydrants are to be installed every 1,000 feet apart, or no more than 500 feet from the furthest point of any lot within the subdivision.
(B) If a publicly owned water line, six inches or greater in size, is proposed to intersect with a water line serving the proposed subdivision, then the developer shall install a fire hydrant at, or near, the point of intersection.
(C) All fire hydrants shall be located so as to be easily accessible to fire trucks on a public street.
(D) Where there is no central water system but there is a water source available, dry hydrant shall be installed as determined by the Fire Chief in charge of serving the subdivision.
