THAT PERTAIN THERETO
WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls desires to encourage
the use of fire lines; and,
WHEREAS, Section 32-41 of the Code of Ordinances states
that "Public Utilities . . . will make no rental charges for (fire
and sprinkler systems) . . . provided that no connection shall be
made to such systems with any piping whatsoever, except for fire
purposes"; and,
WHEREAS, Ordinance 3836 dated September 29, 1981,
established a readiness-to-serve charge according to the size of
the meter and made no exception for fire lines; and,
WHEREAS, there are instances where a fire line and other
piping do operate off the same meter;
NOW BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY
OF WICHITA FALLS THAT SECTION 32-41 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:
"Insomuch as the installation of fire and sprinkler systems
throughout the city has a tendency to prevent fires, the Department
of Public Utilities desires to cooperate and encourage the installation
of such systems and will make no demand-type charges for the system
or consumption charges for the water used through such systems when
used for fire purposes .
A fire line normally shall not be installed on the same
meter with lines conveying water for other than fire purposes (hereafter
referred to as "domestic lines"); the fire line should be a sole-purpose

line tapped off the main. However, if the customer desires to tap the
fire line for other than fire purposes, a meter of appropriate size
shall be installed by the city on public property or easement, at the
owner's expense, on the domestic line added to the fire line. The
meter shall be emplaced in, as nearly as possible, the same location
as if it were on a line tapped directly off the main, and must at all
times be accessible to city employees for reading and servicing. The
city assumes no responsibility for the effect of a tapped fire line
on the customer's insurance coverage or rate.
There shall be no unmetered lines tapped off a fire line,
and each fire line shall have a detector check valve and 5/8" meter
installed, at the owner's expense, on the customer side of any taps
made on the fire line. The detector check valve and 5/8" meter and
the meter installed on a domestic line tapped off the fire line
shall, when possible, be installed in the same meter box.
Fire lines installed as described above shall not be subject
to charges which compensate for a customer's demand on the water system,
e.g. , a readiness-to-serve charge, or to consumption charges for the
water used through the fire line, if used for fire purposes.
Fire lines installed before the date of this Ordinance are
subject to the following provisions :
1. A fire line with no other lines tapped off of it shall
have no demand charges applied, whether the fire line is metered or
unmetered.
2. When a fire line and a domestic line are connected to
a compound meter, a demand charge for the fire line will be applied

Agenda Item No.
when the large chamber of the compound meter registers water consumed,
if that water was not used for fire purposes. If no water was registered
by the large chamber (or if the water registered was for fire purposes),
then the demand charge shall be applied against the small chamber which
meters the water flowing through the domestic line".
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 19th day of April 1983.
