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.
