This is a new one for me, guess I have been very lucky up till now.
We have a parcel of land in the city that is not served by a water main. A church owns it and wishes to build a new church building on it. They want to build about 25,000 square feet total, type 2 construction. They are willing to construct a tank and pump on site for fire sprinklers and fire fighting.
The building will be sitting by itself, no other building related exposures. Next closest structure over 0.5 miles away.
Nearest fire hydrant is 0.7 miles from the front property line and the building site is another 0.4 miles from the front property.
Question is, what standard, formula, etc. do you all use to determine the minimum required amount of water storage on site.
We are under 2006 IBC and IFC.
