§ 94.023 FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS.
   Notwithstanding the requirements of §§ 51.060 and 51.061 relating to private fire service protection, fire sprinkler systems may be installed in one- and two-family residential dwellings and mobile homes within the city if the following requirements are met:
   (A)   The design and installation of the sprinkler system is in accordance with the requirements of the National Fire Prevention Association Standard 13D, 1980 edition, as amended from time to time, except that all such systems shall be run through the residence's domestic water meter.
   (B)   A permit to install such system is applied for in the city's Building Permit Office, and permit fees are paid in accordance with the fee schedules set out in §§ 151.134(B) and 151.135.
   (C)   Plans submitted for the installation of such systems must have the seal of a state-registered engineer who is registered with the State Fire Marshal.
   (D)   Such plans shall be transmitted to and approved by the City Fire Prevention Bureau, which shall use the National Fire Prevention Association Standard 13D as the basis for the approval or denial of such plans. They shall also be transmitted to the Utilities Director, or his authorized designee, who shall review all fire sprinkler system plans submitted and may deny the approval of such plans on the basis of the availability of water in the service area where the sprinkler system is to be installed.
   (E)   By issuing permits under this section, the city shall not make any guarantee as to a certain water pressure and volume in the system or any pipe or main supplying same and shall not be, under any circumstances, held liable for loss or damage to the owner, his property, or other persons or property for a deficiency or failure in the supply of water, whether occasioned by the shutting off of water in case of accident or alterations, extensions, connections or repairs, or for any cause whatsoever.
