Fire Sprinkler Information
In September 1994, the Lake Havasu City Council approved an ordinance that required the installation of fire sprinkler systems in new construction for the following occupancies:
- All commercial structures regardless of size.
- All multi-family structures such as duplexes, triplexes, apartments, etc.
- Single family homes that are constructed where the slab of the main living area is twenty feet vertically above the street level benchmark.
Note: While our city ordinance does not require fire sprinklers in single family homes it is highly recommended.
