Our neighbor (who's a fire fighter) is putting an addition on his home. To get the permit, he needs to increase the size of the water pipe from the street to the house. Apparently the village is considering requiring sprinklers in new construction and additions. Providing for extra water capacity is one step toward that requirement.
Changing the pipe is adding a lot of money to the cost of their plans!
