Residential Fire Protection Systems
Multi-family residential properties with more than two units per
building constructed since January 2011 must have fire protection
systems. This is required by
State Law. Water supply to
these systems must have a testable backflow prevention device to keep
stagnant or contaminated fire system water from contaminating the water
supply. Customers are
required to have backflow preventers tested annually by an Allegheny
County certified backflow preventer inspector.
Moon Township Municipal Authority (MTMA) charges the following fees to
our residential customers that have fire protection systems:
·
Recordkeeping fee
to verify backflow preventer inspections are performed - $15/year
·
For customers with
a separate ¾” or 1” size fire system water meter (typically constructed
from 2011 through 2015) a meter fee of $30/year is charged. There is no
minimum use charge for this type of meter.
Large commercial and some large residential properties are subject to
fire service charges based on the size of the building’s fire service
waterline. |
