Board of Commissioners
Amendment clarifying water main sizing for hydrants and requiring on-site water infrastructure by barring mobile water shuttles as the primary fire-protection source for new development.
Planning Board
Tanker-hauled water can supplement but never be the sole fire protection for new development; water main extensions must match existing main size, with six-inch hydrant lines allowed only with Utilities Director approval.
