Sec. 2-4

Fire Protection

  (a)    All subdivisions in business, industrial, hotel, commercial, duplex,
      apartment, airport, rural, and residential districts shall be required
      to install fire hydrants which shall be paid for by the subdivider and
      shall be in accordance with these regulations.  Subdivisions in
      agricultural districts shall be required to install standpipes.
      Subdivider may elect to instal] fire hydrant in lieu of standpipe in
      agricultural districts.
  (b)    Fire hydrants shall be spaced along the streets not more than 250
      feet apart in business, commercial, industrial, hotel, and apartment
      districts, not more than 350 feet apart in residential districts, and
      not more than 500 feet apart in rural and agricultural districts.
         Standpipes shall be spaced not more than 500 feet apart.  The
      department shall determine the location of all hydrants and standpipes.
      All standpipes and fire hydrants required for adequate fire protection
      of a subdivision shall normally be located within the subdivision.
         If, in the interest of better fire protection, it is determined
      that one or more of the required hydrants may serve the subdivision to
      better advantage if located outside the subdivision, they may be so
      located with cost to be borne by the subdivider.
  (c)    In fixing the standards for fire protection insofar as water supply
      is concerned, the department shall be guided by the standards of the
      Insurance Services Office's Guide for Determination of Required Fire
      Flows.  The minimum fire protection schedule shall be as follows:
